Weekend Open Thread: It Gets Betterby: Dean BarkerSat Oct 23, 2010 at 07:53:54 AM EDT |
Some in the LGBT community aren't happy with this, no doubt influenced in part by the quick-as-mud pace of repealing DADT, DOMA, et al. I'll say this: when I was the same age as the audience President Obama is addressing here, and bullied not because I was gay but because my friends were, President Reagan refused to speak the word "AIDS." The subsequent inattention to the epidemic played a key role in causing tremendous suffering. Truly, it gets better. This is a Weekend Open Thread. |
