NEWS FROM THE OUT BACK
This is a great little town. Just read the article. It doesn't leave a lot more to say.
Sewers, Curfews and a Ban on Gay Bias
The part I like is about the small group of friends who protected the gay boy who is now mayor of the town. Although he does not believe the motion passed because of him.
Again. Proof positive that coming out to others is the best possible way of achieving gay rights. Once they know even one of us we are on our way to shoveling out the shit.
Notice that the one guy who voted "nay" did so because of his religion and not because of his personal belief. How do the christer's look at themselves in the mirror?
I know this town. I grew up in it only it was in Eastern Pennsylvania when I did my time.
We had a lot of gay men hiding out in the crevices and people made sure that is where they stayed.
One guy, Billy, a year ahead of me, went back home again and lived there with his husband. More than I could ever do.
I am sure that he has been a power of example to the shit-kickers. He was flamboyant when he was a kid. There were some tough kids that stood up for him. I had the same. I wasn't a flamer but I had that "thing" that most straight boys can pick up on.
My father was also on the school board. And I was a very good student.
