- When governments allow our sexuality to be do/be, then I don't think that
- there will be any need to hold political opinions about it. However at
- the moment there are way more than just "prejudicial bits of legislation" out
- there. As for the heterosexuals who dislike them just as much as we do, I find
- they are often very comfortable with queers as long as we don't flaunt
- it, i.e. hold hands in public. Personally, political hackery is not for me,
- however I am glad that there are people who find it to their taste, and who are
- prepared to fight against those "bits" of legislation. I think any political
- movement (and maybe this is where we disagree) needs a wide spectrum of
- actions if it is to succeed, and that includes militant queers, establishment
- queers, personal political acts etc.........
