I agree Sweetie. And the entire new younger gay generation takes it all for granted. For those of us who are old enough to remember what real life was like before Stonewall can attest to the fact that there is a seeming return to those long lost days of yesteryear when homophobia and biased behavior towards gays and lesbiens and transgendered folks was common place. I just drove from Ptown to Washington DC to a funeral last week and I stopped along the highway for gas and food and every place I stopped middle americans looked at me like I was a terrorist ( and I wasn't even in drag) But a word of advice from those long ago times when we had to travel like nuns, in pairs, in order to be safe. Carry tear gas, learn to fight and protect yourself. As the republican conservative party continues on its march toward racism, sexism and homophobia this is not the time to hide our heads in the sand and imagine that we are loved and accepted by our society. Pay close attention and remember in most cases there are only two kinds of conservative straight people: The kind that hate you to your face, and the kind that hate you behind your back.
