Way before Washington was President and our land was peopled by many tribes
there existed the tradition of the "berdache" - by including gays and lesbians
into the tribe as functioning members.

The tribe was stronger and benefited from this inclusion. So why has it taken
many white men so many years to even consider that we are human beings?

I'd belong to a tribe called Queer in a minute.

Oh, I already do belong.
