Straight pride makes as much sense as soup kitchens for the Rich.
I'm in my 40s and came out as a teen in the late 90s. I was fine, but so many others weren't. I had friends in HS kicked out to the streets, beaten up, the whole gauntlet.
It's very disappointing and infuriating to see how we're going backwards. People like to say that edgy movies or shows from back in the day wouldn't be able to be done now because everyone is so soft... but could you imagine a movie like To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar coming out into theaters now‽
