Yeah, sure.  Blacks tried befriending everybody in sight, but the only way
they were able to begin breaking down the racial barriers in employment
was when they rioted in Watts (a Los Angeles district) in 1965.  Then
suddenly people began to see that they were serious. 

It may take such an action before the People In Charge realize that gay 
people are serious, too.  In the next presidential election EVERY 
rightwing candidate will be playing the anti-gay card.  They'll go on and 
on about how nasty they were to gay men and lesbians.  Pete Wilson will 
bring up his slap against same-sex parents; Pat Buchanan will bring up 
his support of "the American family" by seeking to deny tax exempt status 
to charities which are run for lesbigay causes (look for this in his 
platform).  

Meanwhile, who are the friends?  Bill Clinton?  Tell me another joke.
