5. Apology NOT accepted.

I'm sorry, I can ALMOST understand the bigotry of the ignorant. By "ignorant" I mean people who don't have truly "out" gay friends, acquaintances, family and co-workers.

Let's face it, a lot of "ignorant" people think our "lifestyle" consists ONLY of hanging out in truck stops, forest preserves, bathhouses and the occasional flamboyant hairdresser mincing about their wife's hair salon (not that there's anything wrong with mincing about :) ).

This guy presumably knows several gay people that have families, homes, mortgages, pets, hopes, and aspirations to live normal lives in loving committed relationships. In 25 years, he had to have witnessed the darkest days of the AIDS epidemic and the impact it had on gay families.

Yet he decided to commit a LARGE sum of money to make sure his gay "friends" and co-workers drink out of the "colored only" drinking fountain.


Fuck him!
