Doing something...I agree with you whole heartedly. Doing something BEFORE it's too late. I think talking to friends and family members about issues like LGBT rights is important. My own family used to dismiss issues like this until they realized they had a gay relative in their midst. I've lost all patience with the so-called religious people who say that their "faith" requires them to discriminate or that they love me but not my "sin". My response is, "Then your religion/faith is reprehensible, and I would be very concerned to be associated with an organization that requires me to denigrate others." I also tell them that "The faith reason is weak and is just an excuse for dehumanizing other human beings." Stops them in their tracks every time. Of the 106 things to bring about a queer revolution, I think the LGBT community should take them to heart. Especially numbers 61-72. I know from experience that once you reach the age of 50, you become invisible in the LGBT community, at least where I'm from. Ageism, ableism, racism and shaming are huge problems within our own community and it really doesn't need to be.Bradnoreply@blogger.com
