Do you feel that gays rear their
children not to be gay?
I think most gays understand
that you don't raise a kid to be a
certain sexuality. A kid will come
to a sexuality, and I think gay parents
would be much more supportive
of a lot of children's choices
than homophobic parents would
be, and some heterosexuals are homophobic,
definitely.
What's the biggest problem facing
the gay community, today?
Recognition and protection for
legal protection under the law.
Does the gay community perceive
itself as a separate entity of
society?
ies, oecause we are nui mainstream.
There are gays of mainstream,
but we arc a subculture of
heterosexual society, although that
doesn't mean that everybody in
society is heterosexual. The overwhelming
feeling is that our
American culture is heterosexual,
and we're a subculture of that.
We're not heterosexual, but we
live within this culture; so we're
still Americans, we just have one
very important difference.
You've talked about gay marriages
and adoption. A lot of
times relationships among male
homosexuals are not monogamous

1 wouldn't say arc not monogamous.
It's really hard to say :
what is a typical gay relationship.
We live in a culture that says women
want to get married, straight '
or gay. Women want to get married
and settle down. Women arc 1
not "hot to trot." Men are ruled by (
their hormones. These are just a
few of the things we hear all the
time. 1
I think those are really deeply (
socialized. So think ? you get two 1
people together who don't really
understand the amount of choices <
they have in their own personal J
behavior, who still feel subconsciously
controlled by those.
If you've got two guys together 1
who've been raised to believe that
men cannot form long-term communicative
relationships, they
won't. If you've got two women J
together who think they are supposed
to get married, they marry.
Which is true. A lot of women
have been raised to think sex is
something that is only for marriage,
so lesbians "gel married."
We have a year or two-year or
four?year relationships based on
sexual attraction.
But I wouldn't say that's because
we're gay. It's because we
live in a world that is not very supportive
of other options of behavior:
I know more long term ?
longer than 10?year gay couples

Q: Do you know the ones who
ire doing this, the ones who are
tearing you up, are not abiding by
he true laws of the Bible like they
ire supposed to, even if they call
hemselves "Christian?"
A: Oh, but there arc so many inerpretations
of Christianity. I
lon't care whether other Christians
trc wrong. They think they're
Christian, and they're right, and
itill the Baptist majority in the
south is highly homophobic. The
"undamcnialisls arc openly homophobic,
also openly biased and ra;ist
in my opinion.
Q: Which is what?
A: If a religion is supported by
some kind of bigotry, perhaps the
religion is not based on as much
love and understanding as they
;>nce thought they were. I see lovers
kept apart from each other. I
ice children taken away from parents.
I sec people beaten up by
'born a gains or by whatever radi;al
Islamic factions, which are
lighly homophobic. Orthodox
lews are highly homophobic. The
undamcnialist Baptist groups,
Mormons, the Roman Catholic
Church ? I see all these religions
Jestroying people's lives, invading
heir privacy.
