I am just pissed right now because I sit back and let people talk shit around me about gay people. Make jokes about gay people, no one knows I am gay and I let it slide by. I read this story about a guy who was beaten almost to death the other night, in a neighborhood that I used to live in and a neighborhood that I sometimes drink in. He was beat for walking from a bar with a friend not even a lover just a friend. Beat by three guys with bats, skull crushed, bleeding around the brain in intensive care. I guess I was just pissed about what I read in this article and the came over to this board and read this thread, I only read the first few post and then got even more pissed. Sorry for flying off the handle.
Oh and by the way Boston is like the 3rd Gayest city in this country behind San Francisco and West Hollywood. The South End of Boston is crawling with them.

Yeah, Vballplayer, I hear ya. You're right. People think that they're just joking around, but others hear it, and it creates a climate where bashing someone in seems "reasonable".
When I lived in San Francisco, I didn't go anywhere without a police whistle around my neck.
And I broke up a couple of assaults with it, some guy getting beat up by the local tuffs,
They hightail it pronto when they hear a police whistle.
The straights around here have never had to experience stuff like that, so they don't see it as anything but a joke.
Actually, you just hit on our worst problem.
We are our worst problem, by remaining closeted.
Problem is, most straight people swear they don't know any gay people, and that allows them to believe we're ogres.
The more we come out, people realize they know gays and are already friends with them, the climate of violence goes down.
Problem is, guys like dballer mistake that for "flaunting" and "recruiting" and "demanding special rights".
Truth is, when you're gay, just existing is political activism.
Hey! Bullit! Don't be so straight!
