20. Agreed. I like your use of "Human Rights".
Good point regarding it. I hadn't thought of it like that before, but you're right.

I think there's a false, paper-thin impression that we're so much accepted in our society. And we are certainly accepted much more then before - a lot more then when I was growing up. But I think the battle is going to get worse before it improves. A lot worse. Because by demanding legal marriages, us "butt-boys" are stepping out of that tiny area that homophobes will "tolerate" us to use. That's the cross road we're at: stay quiet and make no waves, least of all demand anything, thus be tolerated, or make a lot of noise til there are changes.
