THE NEXT STEP FOR GAY PRI
* gay the next step *
There has never been a better time or place the history of the world to be gay than 2019 and the Wt. If you glance at media aimed at gays, lbians, and transgenr people, you might image we are livg a state of siege.
Gay stunts arrivg llege 2019 will be told stantly that they are opprsed untls ways, and trans stunts will be told that they n be opprsed by gay people, as well. Check out the webse for the biggt gay lobbyg group, the Human Rights Campaign, and you will fd that gays and lbians and transgenr people “have been unr nstant attack” sce Tmp beme print. And look at what remas: marriage equaly, even Alabama; rporate Ameri petg to brand self as pro-gay (sometim to an excciatg gree); full tegratn of gay service members; a lbian mayor of Chigo and, Corey Johnson, a future gay mayor of New York; a married gay man among the ma ntenrs for the Democratic printial nomatn; a rnupia of media-affirmg gay and trans equaly; openly gay and lbian figur almost every sphere of Amerin life; a preventative pill for HIV and a pill to all but eradite om the livg; and explic legal protectn om discrimatn for half of the gay people the untry.
Compared wh the 1950s, when “sodomy” was illegal every state, when the ernment hound gay men and women public service out of their jobs and monized them as herently treasono, when gay people were barred om enterg the untry, and when psychiatrists believed them to be mentally ill, this is close to utopia. Compared wh the 1980s and early 1990s, when gay men found themselv circlg the dra of their own extctn, and wnsed horrors and pa and stigma as never before, this is credible. Compared wh the 1880s, or 1780s, when gay people were assumed to be merely viant straights and were subject to executn unr the law, is an entirely different universe.
