I remember the days when Barney's Beanery had a sign hanging over the bar which read "No Fags Allowed". Not only did they have the sign, they enforced the rule. The gay community was outraged and demanded that the sign come down and that Barney's not discriminate against gays.
It is sad to hear so many gays openly advocate the same type of discrimination that many of us fought so long and hard to overcome.
It's bad enough that we have to fight the likes of Jerry Falwell, Dr. Laura and those of their ilk. That we have to struggle against the racist attitudes of our own is unconscionable.
