My experience with minority groups on a professional level has mainly been with people with disabilities. They do not want to be treated as a special case and live separately from everyone else. The best thing you can do for them is just to treat them exactly the same as you would anyone else.

There is hope though. It was not too long ago that this group were generally mocked, ridiculed and worse. Put on display at freak shows to be laughed at. There is still a long way to go for this group, but is it too unrealistic to think that, in time gay people could be generally accepted in this way?
Provided of course that IS what they really want? Given Kat's last sexist comments, at which I DO take offence, I am beginning to doubt if that IS what some gay people want. Then again I couldn't possibly ever fully understand, could I?
