Acceptance is such a variable beast I'm realising..
A guy at work, who comes across as someone who may or may not be gay, does ballroom dancing.. Many at work mock him for that more than possibly being gay.. His response, "hey, my hand has touched more female butt than yours ever will!" He is however (mockingly) accepted.. He is himself however and doesn't care..
Then there is a guy at work who is gay as, doesn't flaunt it, but doesn't hide it, he loves to party, happy all full of jokes, smiles and laughter.. I can't think of a single person who does not like him..
There's guys like me who don't know a thing about cars, don't care for sports, don't swear, don't tell crass jokes who get along fine with everyone, but aren't in the 'boys club'..
I've seen women laughed at for the way they dress.. like my mutton dressed as lamb neighbour, a grandma that dresses like she's 16..
And lately since my trandar has been switched on, seen quite a few trannies out in public that don't get a second look and thus seem to be totally accepted..
I guess if all of us would come out at the same time, it would wake up many people as to it's commonality.. Some would be accepted, some would be tollerated, and then there will sadly always be some that would be ridiculed.. Society as a whole has a perceptive opinion that has developed over centuries.. Revolutions (rapid change) is dead, burried and gone.. Getting society to accept duality of gender will take way more than one event, no matter how big!
