When “Gays” are “LGBT”

When it comes to gay rights and equality, we are experiencing a sea change in public opinion unlike any we have ever seen. In the past two decades alone, cultural attitudes surrounding LGBT issues have dramatically shifted from a place of bias, stigma, and prejudice to one of acceptance and equality. Well, for about 50% of Americans, that is.
That is the write up for one of the Connecticut Forum panel discussion this year "Being Gay". Did you get the part that says “cultural attitudes surrounding LGBT issues”?

The panel is made up of… Martina Navratilova, Dan Savage and Bishop Gene Robinson and is narrated by Jonathan Capehart from the Washington Post. So you notice something about the panel beside they are all white upper class talking about being marginalized.

They are all gays and lesbians.

Where are the Bs and the Ts?

Once again “Gay Inc” is speaking for us. We are patted on our backs and being told “don’t worry, we’ll take care of you.”

  1. And I am very leery about those folk... They are the type who'll have intercourse with you (sanitized phrase) and avoid osculation (kissing).
