Message-ID: Date: 22 Jun 91 04:29:03 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Lines: 16 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu When someone proposes an idea such as the promotion of Lesbian/Gay pride, then even if I myself may not agree with such an idea, this does not excuse me from my responsibility to respect the dignity of that person. A stance like this provides the opportunity to enter someone's world, something which I think we all need to do more. Perhaps a good way to establish dialogue in this case would be to ask why they feel they need to be proud, or why, for that matter, anyone should be proud.
