If you feel like nothing good is happening in the world, and everything is going to shit... or even if you don't feel that way... you should read this article. A few lines...
To give the most powerful example: A gay child born today will grow up knowing that, in many parts of the world and in parts of the United States, gay couples can get married just as their parents did. From the very beginning of their gay lives, in other words, they will have internalized a sense of normality, of human potential, of self-worth--something that my generation never had and that previous generations would have found unimaginable. That shift in consciousness is as profound as it is irreversible.
It is a really wonderful, awesomely written article by a really interesting blogger on the "end" of gay culture and its history and how the culture has changed in the last twenty or thirty years. I thought it was so intriguing, and great to read. It is essentially about freedom, and I think that's why I find it so inspiring. Even a skim is worthwhile. :)
