"I've got something to tell you."

Photobucket


I saw this photo on Towleroad today and thought it was interesting. The CDC let get out a really deceptive report that made it sound like every gay man was a petri dish for virulent bacteria. Apparently, one gay man's less-than-gay-friendly father was concerned about the report.

I wonder how many parents of gay kids, friends of gay people, co-workers of, you know, homosexuals, still associate the gayity with an ugly virus, illness, and deviant sex. I wonder how many people think of images from "And the Band Played On" and "Ass Captains 7" as the first thing when their loved ones finally come out to them.

Will it be different for the next generation, a little farther removed from K-S lesions and funerals by the dozen?
