They are trying (their damnedest) to say "We are not ashamed of being queer."
That said, the very fact that they have to keep saying they are not ashamed is a testament to their shame.
Exactly!!! It’s like, “the lady doth protest too much.”
I don’t think you should be denied a job or fired SIMPLY because you are gay. If you comport yourself like any other person, no one knows until you tell them. If you get along with others, no one cares.
But when you demand MY adoration, MY affirmation, and for me to suspend reality, we are no longer on a two way street.
