Are we? You see no transphobia from certain quarters within the community? No racism, ableism? We need to address the prejudices within our community if we're going to move forward.
My high school had a GSA when I was there. They can try to erase us all they want. We're not going anywhere. Also I'm not ready for the inauguration and don't want it to happen. This is scary.
Their is a site called Gay Men’s Collective and it a group of men supporting each other..what you say is true, but some things are out of our control. I am tell you what my therapist told me, live in the moment. Change comes hard and it takes a army to change things. I am lonely my self. I am married, and I am trying to come out to my wife and family. We all have missions in life remember to live in the moment and try not to take on everything that is wrong.
I think there is this perception among many of us that the big battles have already been fought so activism is not as necessary. I dare say it's just the opposite. Too much of our community is apathetic, too focused on seeking attention on social media and individual issues of identity and which CAP we are represented by, etc. It's time to wake the hell up! It doesn't matter what CAP you are because the haters hate ALL of us for not being hetero-conformists. We're overdue for a return to assertive activism or we're going to regress to being marginalized and oppressed all over again like we were in the pre-gay-lib era.. It's time the GLBTQ+ community stops playing so nice and agreeable. A community divided will fall, and we are currently a community divided. Do you really believe that gay marriage will not be on the Republicans chopping block at some point within the next 4 years? We are currently waaaay too distracted and apathetic. Stop being ashamed of anger. Anger is what fueled every marginalized minority in history to get off their butts and say ENOUGH! .
I'm referring to community building and relationships. I have no doubt heterosexuals deal with loneliness... but neither can be compared considering how small our community already is.
We should stop this nonsense. Discrimination is not loneliness. Homophobia is to much and not recognized. There is always some absurd motive that you can't organize and others take your safe place agaist violence. I'm tired
Fascism came here on the Mayflower. Everyone needs to stop pretending. Erasing all the evils in American history to vilify Trumpty-dump is itself evil.
Hey Donny thanks my man you have touched the subject!!
we're all in this together

i'm worried too. we are living in some scary times
You're right, and sadly some of those in our own community voted for this kind of administration.... you know who you are...
@@FriendofDorothy Say it...economically privileged white gay men.
Straight loneliness is just as lonely. Heterosexuals don’t get any help, trust me.
