The personal is political

I had the idea to create a site that would put the happy back into gay. Once I started thinking about gay topics to post, it became more and more difficult to avoid writing about non-happy gay topics: the personal is political!
No matter how "out" and secure a gay person is, they are forced to adjust to living with hatred from people that obsess on and despise everything about us. Even within loving extended families, there are often a few that make their anit-gay disapproval clear. The only answer is to forgive the hatred and see it as a misunderstanding.
Hatred is not a misunderstanding, it IS hatred, however justified.
A valuable judge of person't character is their treatment of gay people, because it is a measure of tolerance, and probably a measure of how they love themselves.
