First of all let me just say this is a FIERCE topic and one of the few on the Motherboards that left me so amazed I was stumped for an answer. Maybe that's why it's taken me so long to join it. I encourage everyone to be proud and be the best you can be in your chosen self-expression. OWN IT. I guess all I can contribute is my own perspective and experience for what it's worth. As a gender bender/androgyne, I walk through a strange middle country somewhere between the gay archetypes of...

Let's throw a big "Republicans Go Home!" party and give the $ to some lefty cause! It should be a benefit but it should also get press... that's the point, to make a grassroots statement that says "Ick, go away!" They should leave and take the gay republicans with them. I always wanted to do a Pride float with a burning "Log Cabin".

I think gay kids have it so easy now with everything that they don't feel the need to fight for anything. We're living in a time where people think if they show up at the pride parade and pledge twenty bucks to the AIDS walk that they are a fighter for gay causes.

IMHO the youth of today have no manners or respect for the struggle of the gay generations before them. It seems to be all about their own self interests and materialism ( thanks Madonna for being such a shining example) and their youth obsessed behavior is a testiment to the shallow way that they treat any of their elders. But I doubt if that's new to our society. The value placed on money, fame and beauty overshadow any hopes for real depth. Of course this is a generalization but the basic...

Well, folks, perhaps we should become our own Al Sharptons. Although I try to believe in the American system of justice-- against all odds it would seem-- it very frequently fails us. Especially when the so-called leader of this country has repeatedly ensured that we be considered and treated like second-class citizens. Enough! I will never forget the riots in the streets of san Francisco when the Dan White verdict was handed down. But that would be looking a bit far in the future right now.

I agree Lex but the really outrageous thing is why gay men have sex in public bathrooms in the first place.
