“Why do straights hate gays?”

This is the name of the article i read today from March 20th in the L.A. Times http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-kramer20mar20,0,4477514.story?track=mostviewed-storylevel

(i only just read the article because while we were away for over five weeks in the states, i save all my articles to read later – so, i'm a little behind)

anyways, this article was written by Larry Kramer, who is an author and founder of the the group, ACT UP (a protest group) – he is also, simply, a 71-year old gay man trying to live in a society that can't bring itself to accept him for who his is

and i gotta say, i don't get it – hate for gay and lesbian people – what is everyone's problem, really? – are jokes at the expense of the gay community that funny? – why does it seem like the ultimate sacrifice in a political career to admit support for gays? – have some decency, people! – we're all people – who cares if a guy chooses to love another guy or a woman chooses to love another woman – and who cares if a person chooses to love both men and women – who cares! – what i find really intolerable (and is addressed in the Kramer article as well) is that we treat gay people as second-class citizens, merely because of whom they love – and that it's sanctioned by the government and by other people in power and quite acceptable to be so openly bigoted in this way – it's just as ridiculous as treating people differently because of race or color or class (i hate that word) – they are us! – just people – trying to live in this world
