Hey folks,

Let us not allow the Arndt's of the world to drive us
away from a forum that is ours!  Do not back down into the closet!
It is true that Arndt is a discussting pig, but most of us gays have
to live with those sorts every day.  There are currently large
contingents of "Christians" on Polk Street and on Castro Street, and
probabally at many other gay gathering places the country over, and
they are not there to join the festivities.  But the way to deal with
them is either by active fight or by ignoring them... not by running
back to our closets.

Enough of that.

What are the feelings of other gay netters on our own minorities.  I'm
actually interested in the coments of other gays, but will listen to
anyone who wishes to comment on the subject.  I consider the gay
minorities to be;
	drag queens
	leather/motorcycle crowd
	interracial couples
	Sisters of PI (and other simular groups if there are any)
	gay Christians
	gay Catholics (really, Dignity is a separate crowd, I think)
	gay Jews
	chickenhawks/queen
(I hope that I haven't missed someone who will be hurts by the fact
that I missed them.  If you feel slighted, flame at me and I will make
a special effort to add you to the list.)

Let us get some gays talking to each other, and at least the "Arndt's"
won't take up such a large percentage of this group.

Gay power through politics, now!
