Quote: Matter-eater Man said: Hmmn, who actually makes up the "we" part though? I know quite a few "queens, twinks,& leather men" that donate time & money to various events. Quite a few people that you seem to consider inferior.
I also know gay men who contribute money and time to gay causes, and these people do not fall into those categories. It is not that I consider queens, etc. inferior. No. Don't try to paint me into that corner. I was speaking of the Pride parade and the stereotpyes *the parade* perpetuates. The queens et al. are not inferior as people, but they may very well appear as buffoons or worse to others. It doesn't mean they ARE buffoons, but perception is so so important.
Carl Rove or Lee Atwater could not have said it better. Perception is reality. As our mayor said it 'It's about living out loud.'.
