I was stabbed in the abdomen twice by homophobes in 1984, and spent two months hospitalized. The haters were eventually caught and are still in jail. That’s where rabid animals belong—in a cage. The events of the past week reminded me of what those of us who are “Paleo-gay” endured—hatred, violence, police brutality and dehumanization during the first part of the AIDS/HIV pandemic. We did not wake up one day and say, “Gee, I think I prefer ass to pussy”. We are whom we were meant to be.
FUCK THE HATRED AND FUCK TRUMP!
Empower yourselves and get in candidate’s faces—CONFRONT THEIR INTERNALIZED HOMPHOBIA—CHALLENGE THEIR INTERNALIZED HATRED. The power is YOURS! Vote against mealy-mouthed, do-nothing candidates of any party! Engage and be brave. I am headed to a rally tomorrow night to a wuss who is silent. Not anymore! Engage and re-engage VOTE—your most powerful weapon is your ballot!
