Thank you for that entry. It goes a long way in supporting those of us who are demanding full queer rights, and are now being constantly told that we should be patient, that we should take baby steps, and that we just sit back and take that "tranquilizing drug of gradualism".
One of Liz's relatives goes to Rick Warren's church... and of course there are some religious freaks in my family. It just leaves this weird slimy feeling that someone you are related to and supposed to love believes things you feel are completely idiotic and evil.
While I do try to do my part, convincing people in my department who may be homophobic to reconsider; I think there is a segment of the population that you cannot argue with, because they are not willing to be rational.
[Unfortunately, despite my best efforts people still use "gay" as a derogatory term... sigh]
