While the press hasn’t really picked up on the story of Larry King, the teen who got shot at school just because he was gay, Ellen DeGeneris did a wonderful segment on her show recently about him…
We need a lot more people saying stuff like that…
While Ellen doesn’t think of herself as political, her comments were most definitely political. Her statement is exactly what I mean when I say to be political…
Excellent!
I’m fortunate enough to live in the United Kingdom. I’m not saying that the U.K. is homophobia free, but the battle for equality has largely been won. Western Europe seems to be so much more progressive than the U.S. – I think that’s because religion still has a grip on U.S. politics and culture. I fight with U.S. homophobes on youtube ( I can’t find any British ones ). Almost ALL of the homophobia is coming from “Christians” or Moslems. I’m surprised at how few U.S. gays are willing to argue for equal rights.
