Great points in the article about the recent sodomy victory and the homophobes in current politics. As a young gay man, however, I find gay men's number one problem is not the religious right, but each other. So many gay men don't care about each other, refuse to get along, and will not get involved in the community. I do not know what the answer is for this, but I have a hard time thinking about how gay people are supposed to convince society that we deserve human rights when we can't even treat each other with respect and dignity.
