• gay men and lesbians are discriminated against in housing and employment AND
• because how we act is more important than who we are AND
• if we get harassed it's our problem AND
• if we get attacked we provoked it AND
• if we raise our voices we're flaunting ourselves AND
• if we enjoy sex we're perverts AND
• if we have AIDS we deserve it AND
• if we march with pride we're recruiting children AND
• if we want or have children we're unfit parents AND
• if we stand up for our rights we're overstepping our boundaries AND
• because we are forced constantly to question our own worth as human beings AND
• if we don't have a relationship with someone of the opposite sex we haven't given it a chance AND
• if we have a relationship with someone of the same sex it is not recognized AND
• we are told our love is not "real" AND
• if we come out of the closet we're just going through a phase AND
• because lesbian and gay history is virtually absent from literature AND
• because homophobia is sanctioned by the Supreme Court AND
• ... for lots and lots of other reasons (I would include the numerous physical assaults and murders that GLBT suffer every year in America),
