I have several gay coworkers and our main topic of conversation is....yardwork and other trevails of homeownership. Because they're middle aged or approaching that age, normal boring people. Which was the goal of acceptance--normal life. It strikes me that a lot of the activist noise is from people who can't accept that at some point you have to grown up and become a self-supporting productive adult. And yeah, sometimes that's boring. But stable boring is good. A perpetual angry teenager is not.

I didn’t work for the right of men to wear dresses. I worked for equality and to blend in as “normal.” And when SSM became the law of the land, a lot of gay advocacy groups turned to “trans” because they had no more mission.

That was a mistake.

Boring rocks.

We’re not freaks. We’re as good as anyone else.

Not “almost as good,” which is the message that “pride” sends.
