17. thus the attempt at understanding.
Straight White men and women have no idea what insults and indignities much been borne in course of reading many threads here.

I have no reason to doubt that, but I very much doubt that most DUers would want to continue in something that causes insult or indignity to gays. To a sympathetic straight guy like me, some things seem counter-intuitive on their face, as with the objections to the whole outing thing, and I'm indebted personally to dsc for explaining the issue to me a while back.

Fight homophobia, but where there's simply misunderstanding among people of good will, educate.
