Im 14 and gay and I am so proud of the older lgbt generation. I commend them for putting up with the discrimination they had to deal with during their youth. If it weren't for them, it'd be even harder for a gay person to come out. Much love. <3

@erwcat Thank you. My greatest accomplishment was being the founder of the Stonewall Library & Archives, the largest LGBT library in the southeastern US. You can see videos of it here on YouTube.

Was there a gay bar called the Red ?????, not on Hollywood Blvd? I was on a Scholarship at UCLA for two summers in a row. Did you know Stephen Eyraud, Ricky Mott, and their friends? Loved that group.

I just love how anything in black and white, in slow motion, with dramatized opera music makes anything look like being fed to the lions.

@dosmaridos I trust you have seen "Prayers for Bobby sub ita" on youtube?

I started the first gay student organization at my college in Florida in 1974. One of our first actions was to expose the Police Department's practice of using enticement and entrapment to arrest people at the "gay section" of our local beach. I marched right to City Hall and lodged a complaint with the City Commissioners, but first I sent a press release to all the local newspapers and TV stations. Boy, did we get a lot of publicity!!! Now I've been a gay activist for nearly 40 years!

We new generation have it so easy in the end. And I'm happy for that.

Respect for the older generation who had to go through that shit, It's just unbelieveable! :(

Sorry my bad english...
