So.....work for change!
Without starting a big political fight among those of you who are on the Right or The Left, I can safely state that The USA has currently moved very far toward The Right, with a very vocal minority of Religious Fundamentalists holding a great deal of power. This in turn, often creates a climate of intolerance and non-acceptance of people who live alternative lifestyles or whose opinions differ from "The Accepted Norm".
If your unhappy with current policies and political "agenda's", then work for change! Nobody has to know of your femme alter-ego, but you can certainly start working within the system for change. If you want a more tolerant society, then pursue volunteer work that will foster those changes. This is not an advocacy for a particular political philosophy being "better" than another philosophy. My point is about what you are comfortable with. if your not comfortable, then try to change things.
I think our GLBT Community needs to start working together for positive changes that effect us! In turn, we need to work with other diverse, disenfranchised groups of people for further change.
The usual answer is, "Hey, I'm just one person and I can't effect anything!" Always remember, that the flood started with The First Drop of Water! The CD Community represents millions. I think that could be a very good start on a Societal Flood!
Peace and Love, Joanie
