Making strides

One of my favorite blogs posted this photo:

The ad reads: "We have always been a part of this community. Gay and straight, we play ball together, and see each other at the barbershop and church. It's time to treat us with the love we deserve."

This is being sponsored by an organization called WeArePartofYou.org, which I think is simply incredible. It is taking a strong, non-political, simple stance of that old fashioned, "We're here, we're queer..." be nice to us. HUGE props to this group. I hope this stuff starts getting disseminated throughout the urban communities of the U.S.

That's nice. It's a much softer "We're here, we're queer" message. It also stops people from thinking that gay-ness is "somewhere else"
