Why didn't the older gays who lived thru this link these two issues and educate us younger gays?
Rick, you graduated high school a long time ago, and at that point, the obligation of others to fill you with information stopped.
If you don't know who worked to get you the rights you have today, or how those battles were won and lost, then it is your own fault for not having the curiosity to find out.
To blame others for not force-feeding you knowledge is both unfair and childish - particularly when it is through their efforts that you live as freely as you do today.
