Max: Gays in America

I don't get how people can't see how creepily similar our treatment of gay's in the US in the early 21st century is like out treatment of African-American's in the early 20th century. Louis Armstrong, Paul Robeson, and other great African-American artists were celebrated at the same time they were segregated. We all watch with glee as the Queer Eye guys help yet another straight slob get his fasion act together. But we still don't want them to move into our neighborhoods and we sure wouldn't want them to marry our brothers. I just hope it won't be too much longer before we look back on these days with the same queasy sense of shame that we look back on the days of segregation.
