Why are gay and lesbian persons so expressive?
Maybe because only recently, we were allowed to do so. As recently as 50 years ago, we were persecuted by society, even as far as to be beaten by the police, just for "looking gay". There are still crimes commited against us, simply because of who we love.
We have fought long and hard to be able to live peacefully and we have every right to be proud. It seems apparent that we need to celebrate Pride just as much now as ever. Don't you think you would need a weekend to celebrate after spending a year listening to people talk about you the way y'all are talking about us?
And by the way, maybe if y'all educated yourselves and your children, Our children wouldn't have to put up with this harrassment when they are our age.
