Most of all because ...Hey Tiny,<BR/><BR/>Fair points I think. Most of all because even though I think I'm a tolerant, liberal-leaning person, I don't think these programs of shoehorning minorities into curricula actually achieve their end-goals at all.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I think that you have to remember that until the 70s, homosexuality was considered a mental illness and/or criminal behavior. I don't think it matters whether you LIKE the behavior, but it seems unreasonable to criminalize it or make it akin to schizophrenia. (I'm not saying you are doing that, that's just the history.) So, the perspective lots of gays have is that they are still under attack. In reality, I think that 80s gays had to over-assert to respond to the very unreasonable attacks on themselves. And in the last 20 years, they probably overcompensated causing much consternation to mostly reasonable people like you. My expecation: this normalizes soon when enough people realize most important rights have been attained.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
