[Blindtlk] Off Topic - Accessible places on the net for LGBTQ individuals?

[Peter Wolfe]

Ari,


    After a few replies on list, it appears that much of the
challenges are innergenerational like racism of the past. An older
fella said that his father hated either gays or blacks, so he was
probably double wammed with dating a guy of color and being gay
himself. There are still inclusion issues in the gay community as a
whole towards the blind and much of the other disability community for
that matter that I'd attest to as well. This is no different than for
being blind of any group just that gay men and women open up more
readily than the normal population even though some are steadfast into
preferences like race, etc. Lastly, much of what you face presumedly
being hetrosexual is about the same as if you would be whether you
were in or outside of the closet now! BTW: I'm not fully out in public
though.


hugs,
Peter a.k.a Emily sometimes
