- No, just sick of the attitude.
-
- sick of... all the porn flicks that have a subplot where the main
- charactor can suck cock all he wants, but isn't truly happy until he
- leaves his small home-town and finds his way to SF for Real Gay Sex(tm)
- since only you have to live there to be a Real Gay Person(tm).
-
- sick of... the fact that NYC and SF don't have as many of the MOW93
- demands as where I live, but people flock there instead.
-
- sick of... the media ignoring positive news from outside the Center
- Of The Gay Universe.
-
- sick of... the media emphasizing negative news from outside the Center
- Of The Gay Universe.
-
- sick of... The Advocate gloating about how many east-coast gay magazines
- it's put out of business.
-
- sick of... The Advocate made a cover story out California's AB101 FAILED
- but not even giving a byline when CT, NJ, and VT SUCCESSFULLY passed
- bills.
-
- sick of... People considering A2601 a victory, when the protections
- it gives are minimal... just because it's a feel-good story for SF'ers.
-
- sick of... the way the NGLTF refuses to deal with or help small states
- like New Jersey until they are doing so well that the TF can ride the
- wave at no expense and look really good.
-
- sick of... the way Lambda Legal refuses cases from people in D.C.
- (another place where "Real Homosexuals"(tm) couldn't possibly exist)
- and other places until the people take their case to the press and the
- press starts calling LL to ask why they aren't involved (at which time
- they claim to be involved and [with great distain] give a piddly
- amount of help to the case).
-
- sick of... the fact that everytime I mention that many people from SF
- and NYC have "superior attitudes" I get flamed for being jealous.
-
- I've never been to SF. I go to NYC only when I can't escape the
- commitment.
-
- Jealous? Me? Never. Not me.
-
- Tom
-
- P.S. Ok, my New Years resolution was to be more diplomatic on the net
- and with posts like this, I'm sure to get coal in my stocking. Oh
- well.
