Reply #108: I think that generation is lost in the 60's

[goclark]

They are still listening to the Platters and in general have not kept up with changing issues.

I saw a play in the 70's, done in a Black theater in Los Angeles. The cast was sensational and it was a take off on Guess Who is Coming To Dinner.

Instead of the "dinner guest" being Black, the guest was Gay.

There was a line in the play that said something like, "The homosexual population is about 1 in ten people that you know."

I didn't believe it at the time because that was an era when homosexuals didn't come out because they were afraid to do so.

However, after that play I would casually try to figure out who would be the 1 out of the 10 people in a group.

I could usually figure it out and I still can.

On my staff of 60 there were 6/7.
That's why this entire issue is so insane.

These are our brothers, sisters,parents aunts,uncles,cousins,best friends,neighbors that we know and love and until brave people like Ellen came out, they had to pretend.

Let Justice Flow Like a Mighty Stream On This Issue.

March! Picket and above all we must continue to educate!

Take it to the Streets and to the Courts!
