Gay unity to show diversity, in unified way.

Ah, but there is another, more insidious discrimination going on around us, one the gay media and our sub-culture have only skirted with, at best: homophobia within our own ranks, i.e., the homophobic homosexual.
Just read yet one more....zzzzz.....whiny and high-minded complaint about how difficult it is to show straights how diverse gays are, just like them, because we are so dis-united. Insidious counter-revolutionaries who are thwarting the Five Year Plan. Oh, sorry. Wrong revolutionary paranoia.

The author, who confesses his own history of being less than out and proud since birth, lists the various flawed types who retard the coming of Gay Unity. Closeted gays. Gays in denial. Too-masculinely-identified gays who don't like drag queens and femmes. Gay men who don't like lesbians. Even queens who don't like butches. Because of THEM, the Gay Utopia is held off and American queers will remain in the abject misery they suffer.

One of the commentors notes with horror that he even knows gay men who are Republicans, gay men who don't support gay marriage. Gasp! (How can we be united in our diversity when we have actual diversity going on?) A Canadian queer chimes in that since we don't read Chomsky and Vidal, our country is the laughingstock of civilization. (Which he defines as the G8 countries...)

Can the apocalypse be far off?

I'd rather spend the afternoon with my friend Bill's 90 year old Mormon uncle than ten minutes with one of these Vanguards of the People.
