Reply #161: Wow, why are you buying into total ignorance about GLBT people.

Do you think people don't know we're gay when we walk down the street? My girlfriend has been thrown out of women's bathrooms for "appearing too gay." I've had bottles and epithets thrown at me from cars. I've had friends beaten into the hospital by strangers who passed them on the street and were "disgusted."

You want a new "perspective"??? Imagine what it's like being an illegal immigrant who is also a lesbian, or a gay persian who is afraid of being deported back to Iran (where they execute you if you're gay.)
