We, the LGBT community, have achieved a great deal in the past few years. A few states granted us the right to marry and our military personnel are no longer forced to hide their sexual orientation. We seem closer to social equality. Unfortunately, complete social equality is an illusion at this time. An encounter I had with a supposed medical professional will serve to illustrate my point.
We are here to serve you. Recently I received some criticism of an article I wrote on a Facebook group with 183 members. Only six people joined the conversation. That is not a very effective way to get one’s opinion heard. There is a better way. If you like or dislike what we are doing you can reach thousands of readers by simply writing a letter to the editor.
Concerning OUTloud's coverage of Mortville and Occupy Baltimore, these protesting individuals do not represent 99% of Americans – perhaps 9%. I can understand Mortville’s calls for ENDA, an end to discrimination against LGBT persons, and the like.
