They never experienced Duran's "Post Gay Era" bee don't exist any more than there is a post discrimatn era for any group or mory that has spent life tim, ed generatns, fightg for equal rights & digny but never havg really experienced or gaed them and never havg known te eedom their whole liv. There are no feral laws protectg gays & lbians om discrimatn the workplace based on their sexual orientatn, 14 stat have anti sodomy laws on the books as "crim agast nature" & even as we approach 2014, there are Uned Stat senators & others llg for the ath penalty for gay men & women. The term gay is equently ed as a synonym for homosexual; female homosexualy is often referred to as different tim and different cultur, homosexual behavur has been varly approved of, tolerated, punished, and banned.
