"...Queers are persecuted no matter the season or weather. It is naive to believe that getting rid of capitalism is going to change this. .."

getting rid of capitalism will not stop racism, either, and that is a far bigger problem, though thousands of blacks - oops, african americans - are also doing quite well economically, though on a per capita basis, not as well as gays...the most important part of that wall street journal excerpt seems to have escaped the consciousness of sufferering:

"The driver, of course, is that advertisers are increasingly attracted to gays who spend nearly $500 billion a year."

that spending is not done by persecuted people - mentally maybe, economically, gimme a break! - and that is the point ...

of course there is bigotry and hate and madness, but stop thinking it is all the curse of one group...especially when so many of that group are doing quite well, thank you...
