I agree with marshlander that homophobic violence is increasing, however many more of us fight back and supporrt those who have been attacked. Steven, as far as the post which brought me here, really doesn't matter, I agree many more people will just let it go, or ignore two males walking down the street altogether. Probably more dangerous at night than during the day time. Where I live we have two young men who kiss and hug each other after school in front of everyone and the other students really don't seem to care, only some of the adults who are picking up their kids seem too.
More tolerance, yes, perfect with no attacks, no. Just use common sense and be aware of your surroundings. Jim

I have read alot of posts from my twitter pages, one caught my eye as a young man worried about what his father would do when he came out to him as it didn't go well with his mother. I grew up in the 1950's when it was much harder as there was no support on line or at gsa's. My main concern now days is to help people cope with the reactions of others. Nothing that you are experiancing is new, alot of us who are older have been through it. Besides, it's a sargent's job to take care of his men, Jim
