But my husband and I are others. We celebrate it. We are integenerational, interracial, from different parts of the country, one is urban and the other is rural.

the discussion places too much emphasis on individual
attitudes.
But unless individual attitudes are changed you are never going to change institutional behavior. The only way queers have made any progress is to get non-queers to abandon their hates and fears about us.
