Sorry for the delay on this. OK, basically I think that focusing on acceptance and convincing straights we're "normal" and "just like them" is a waste of time, because our numbers will always keep that acceptance from happening. Furthermore, I have no interest in being seen as "just like" a straight person, any more than I want to be seen as "just like" a Christian or a man. The fight for equality and tolerance should NOT have to include the sacrifice of assimilation, especially since we'll never be large enough as a group for that to work. It's my belief that we will always be seen as a minority, and no matter how unfortunate that is, dealing with it as fact gives us increased freedom under the circumstances ( ... )
