my friend antwon my partner anthony and i just sat down to watch the documentary, 'gay sex in the 70s'.
well this is what i gathered...............gay men were soooo oppressed by society that they had to go to places in the dark..........back of bars, parks at night, or the waterfront to release their sexual desires.
today we live in a world where we can be more open and it is ok to be in a relationship.
today we do not need to go around hiding in the dark to express ourselves.
why then do we continue to strut around practically in the nude during our pride parades. if they are called pride parades shouldn't we be parading our families and friends who support us. shouldn't we parade the pride of being humans like everyone else.
why do we not stand up and fight for marriage and adoption rights? why do we have to have gogo boys dancing in the street.
if you want to be respected and to gain rights you have to earn them.
i encourage you to stand up like the men of the stonewall riots and speak out stand up but wear clothes why you do it!
we are a people of dignity and respect...lets show our world that when pride comes around this year!
