I look forward to the work of younger people, and I am excited to see the movement that they will build. They have a tougher job than we did because they are lied to every day by the media, both gay and mainstream, about how free they are, how little oppression still exists, and about the benefits of “tolerance.” But I believe that eventually they will notice that their lived experience does not correspond to the way they are being represented. False representation is ultimately a lot more destructive than no representation at all. And it is finally more confusing.
