when two men kiss walk hand in hand the fear of what you don't understand explodes into violence screams break the silence "the guy was a poof" "the guy was queer" dehumanised and living in fear no, you're not thick and you say they're sick but the only sickness i can see is the cancer of what kind of society do we live in where the simple act of showing love and affection towards another human being results in this kind of sickening murderous violence? intolerance, bigotry and hate - i say it's time to stop. from nazi boneheads to bad brains - warped attitiudes that we must change and it's not just homofobia - rampant sexism, macho dancing, beating of woman - all this is rife within the "scene" - often closer to home than we care to acknowledge. it's time to stop sweeping things under the carped - confront the problems - and act.
