Gay Culture Is Dying. Good Riddance!
Wait, wait, before you hit Alert, hear her out.

The preservationist impulse is an understandable one. Lesbians and gays are a tiny minority. Historically, we've been subject to stigma and oppression at the hands of a larger culture acting under the influence of the purity dictates of irrational ancient religions. Today, though, these religious prohibitions are holding far less sway over modern ideas and attitudes, and they were themselves something of an historical accident, a case of a fringe religious group (Christians) unexpectedly coming to dominate Western culture a thousand years ago. The two previous cultures to which Westerners owe the greatest cultural debt, those of Greece and Rome, didn’t find anything particularly wrong or abhorrent in homosexual activity. Although their ethic was nothing like our modern one, it is instructive to note that there is nothing natural or inevitable about moral or legal prohibitions of homosexuality....
Those who suggest that we, as gays, will always need places of refuge show a failure of imagination at how bright our future can be. They assume that there must always be some stigma, some feeling of difference, or separateness, or loneliness, remaining after the work of the LGBTQ movement is accomplished. But why? After all, left-handedness was once associated with the devil, but there is no distinct left-handed subculture. Left-handed people have their shared annoyances, they even have pride, of a sort, in their supposed tendencies toward creativity and genius. But there are no left-handed bars or cruises.
Gays and lesbians are different from left-handers in one important way, which is that we must seek out and date each other (or bisexuals of our own gender). If Internet dating didn’t exist, this would probably be enough to make designated gay spaces a necessity. As it is, however, even this level of segregation has become unnecessary. Gays and lesbians should not be afraid of a future where we reclaim our birthright by integrating fully into the communities that give birth to us.

But I know you get what I mean. Cheers. 
I think the legalities though of getting a model's release is a grey area I don't want to test, but if I were homeless and assetless, I guess I'd be more willing ...
That truly never entered my brain.
You are who you are, but I'm glad my gay friends feel differently. They enrich my life - not because they are gay, but because they are great.
She mentions the idiot scumbucket Andrew Sullivan...hard to take her seriously after that. 
Are you ready to throw The Greatest Living American(TM) under the bus?
I saw that too. 
and I've already said too much.
Do you guys have an agenda? 
She needs to do some damn research. Too many people falsely believe ancient Greece and Rome were hotbeds of homo-acceptance. They were not. There is a difference between same-sex acts and homosexuality.
I am actually quite sick of people trying to assimilate. It is one thing to be a part of life, and quite another to do it at the expense by denying the culture of one of your identities.
This reads like something a self-loathing homosexual would write; filled with internalized homophobia and disdain.
Indeed, wouldn't be nice to see society understand being gay as just another part of American life? I hope to live to see that day.
Take a look people...^^^^THIS POSTER^^^^ is an ALLY!
He is rumored to engage in unprotected sex ("barebacking"
. If true, since he is HIV+ and knows it, that is irresponsible bordering on criminal (actually is criminal in some states).
