young people today need to find their own hero to lead the new fight for equality.. Harvey Milk and Leonard Matlovich belong to another generation.. I only hope new heroes come up to lead the fight against the bigots and hateful christian right trying to crush the LGBT community ..
WHAT "new fight for equality"? It's the same one's been going on for decades. Battles already won by those like Harvey & Leonard made it possible for LGBTs to be as out as they are in a country in which gays are no longer officially labeled "mentally ill," put into mental hospitals, given shock treatments; no longer thrown into jail. Yes, we need ADDITIONAL heroes, but we'll never win if we do not learn from those who came before upon whose shoulders we stand.
of course.. I was saying the younger generation needs to grow their own leaders to take up where these previous leaders left off.. the "new fight" has changed where we use to fight just to keep from being the target of hate ..now it has moved towards getting the same rights as any citizen including real marriage not the separate but equal civil unions
I'm sorry, I know u "mean well," but you're still displaying a willful & woeful lack of knowledge. The fight "just to keep from being the target of hate" had been transformed even b4 Harvey & Leonard arrived. U write of "getting the same rights as any citizen" apparently not hearing Leonard say in THIS video the SAME THING IN 1975! There's a putrid new brand of Kool Aide being deepthroated: "WE are inventing real activism." Sorry, u haven't. The sooner u realize that the sooner we'll win.

Matlovich is a hero of mine. I'm going to attend this event.
I'm hoping to shoot some video & do a vlog about this event as well. I've known and worked with Frank Kameny since 1962
