Here's a good reminder of the importance of historical perspective from QSaltLake:
Recently, I was interviewed by Seth Bracken, a promising young reporter with Utah State University’s student newspaper, for a story he was doing on gay male parents. I found his enthusiasm and desire to write a positive gay story refreshing.
As we talked, it became clear to me how different our lives were as gay men. No, not because I have kids and he doesn’t. Not because he and his boyfriend probably go dancing on Friday nights while I’m sitting on the couch watching a Disney flick with the boys.
No, our lives are different because at literally half my age, Seth’s experiences are shaped by four decades of gay and lesbian rights.
