in response to the last three posts, i love it when guys, most likely str8 and possibly white, are threatened by any small perceived exclusion, lol. as if anything that they aren't privy to or anything that attempts to validate other people's existences has something to do with them. the world isn't some perfect place where people don't have to worry about discrimination, kiddies. the only people who think that are those who don't have a bloody clue as to what it's really like. you don't know what it's like to work in places where there are gossip and jokes behind your back simply based upon the fact that you are or might be gay. you don't know what it's like to have those co-workers treat you with less respect than others. they may be smart enough to be indirect about it. after all, they know that direct discrimination can have negative consequences for themselves. somehow, that hidden, covert discrimination is almost worse because it is largely unprovable and therefore unstoppable. yes, these are all things that i have personally experienced in our oh-so-enlightened city. you don't know what it's like to grow up feeling like your existence is some kind of shameful aberration. you don't have a clue really, and until you do, please shut up.
