5. If I had my druthers, I would prefer the way that some nations treat gay relations:
a. It is simply not mentioned in the law.
b. People know there are gays but consider it an open secret.
c. The police do not harass gay people.
d. Gay people stay in the closet.
The was once how gays were treated in America for the most part.
Hi,
According what I have read, that is not exactly accurate.
1. The law made such relations illegal until quite recently.
2. The police have a long history of entrapping gays (President Lyndon Johnson's most trusted aide was entrapped in a men's room; New York City police used to ask landlords to evict gays; here in Los Angeles, the police were very proud of entrapping thousands in the 1960s, etc. etc.)
In fact, the so-called gay liberation movement was born because of such harassment. If the powers-that-be that told the cops to lay off, there would have been no need for activists to demand better treatment.
Oh, I forgot: Harvard (yes, Harvard) was once a bastion of anti-gay actions by the faculty. Many students were expelled and Harvard bigwigs even hounded them after they had left Harvard.
I could name a country that fits my idea of the ideal treatment of gays, but I prefer not to mention it.
Have a nice day!
