Quote: I think it's the realization that the folks that hate or fear gay people don't really care if you raised nice kids & that your a profesional who goes to work with a boring suit & tie everyday. You will always be just as bad & repulsive as "the queens, the twinks, the leather men, rough trade..." because you like cock just as much as the lisping hair dresser does. We are all in the same boat, like it or not.
Quote: I don't like it. I'd like to aspire to something other than that, better than that. We're winning a lot of battles, and I do see progress. I see friends of my high school age daughter coming out in an environment of greater acceptance (sadly, not total) than would have been present in my day. But I'm not ready to be resigned to anything.
My teenage daughter lives in the 'burbs with her mother. She has group of friends that includes two straight guys and a lesbian girl. After spending time with them once she told me 'I love hanging out with X,Y and Z. Everybody there wants me!'.
BTW, what's the problem with lisping hairdressers? I've known a few and not only did I get great doos, I got a lot of entertainment, too! Must be balding guy envy or something.
