It was a crushing blow to find out that while I was researching an important article on gay male sex on television and getting my nails done, the gays got over political activism.

First I had to get over my shock at there being a trend among my people that I wasn't already at least aware of, if not on the forefront of. Remembering the early days of ACT-UP, and actually having been at the White Night riots (and if you don't know what those are, seriously, you need to take queer history 101 immediately) - in fact, being one of the few les/gay people who remembers when San Francisco Pride was actually called the Gay Freedom Day Parade - I suppose it's no surprise this news doesn't make me happy.
