BECAUSE gay men, lesbians and bisexuals are discriminated against in housing and employment AND because how they act is more important than who a person is AND if they get harassed it’s their problem AND if they get attacked, they provoked it AND if they raise their voices they’re flaunting themselves AND if they enjoy sex they’re perverts AND if they have AIDS they deserved it AND if they march with pride they are recruiting children AND if they want to have children they are unfit parents AND if they stand up for they’re rights they’re overstepping boundaries AND because they are constantly forced to question their worth as human beings AND if they don’t have a relationship with someone of the opposite sex they haven’t given it a chance AND if they have a relationship with the same sex it’s not recognized AND they are told they are not real AND if they come out of the closet they are going through a phase AND because lesbian and gay history is virtually absent from literature AND because homophobia is sanctioned by much of the government AND for lots and lots of other reasons I AM A PART OF THE GAY, LESBIAN AND BISEXUAL CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.
