If you're cute and fit, you're in. Also I only see a community when Pride or White Parties are present. I would love to see us as a force, that looks beyond the surface push for true social changeWonder Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723949771552274515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-77570166997140788342008-07-13T10:24:00.000-04:002008-07-13T10:24:00.000-04:00very thought provoking...I quickly go from communi...very thought provoking...I quickly go from community to family in my thinking. Community/family gives understanding and support. Friendship and common interests. Agreement and a respectful difference of opinion. I'll take anyone, LGBT or straight that fits that bill, and I will in turn try to meet those needs for them also.thehostesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06399844652992974753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-10179259538666612452008-07-12T23:28:00.000-04:002008-07-12T23:28:00.000-04:00Well hey, since ENDA was passed with Rep Barney Fr...Well hey, since ENDA was passed with Rep Barney Frank and Rep Tammy Baldwin. They both decided that to get ENDA passed you have to cut off the T and get rid of the T to get ENDA passed. So now since ENDA passed, you can't say LGBT anymore. You have to say LGB and exclude the T. That means now, the transgender community is excluded from the gay community and now the T community is on it's ownNickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15318590507921043958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-43744141156089154942008-07-12T22:39:00.000-04:002008-07-12T22:39:00.000-04:00Wow!

I guess that's my "Pollyanna" showing thru again! I remember being at the San Francisco pride parade in 93. It was amazing! Out of the hundreds of thousands marching, two groups received Boos instead of applause: that would be the MBLA and the Queer San Fran Police! I remember understanding the response but also feeling incredibly sad about general prejudice and misunderstanding of other peoples trips. We Have Got to open our eyes to other peoples reality without judgement if we are to ever change the sad world condition. Love JofishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
