Sorry about my last few posts being incoherent and moderately bigoted, the bigotedness was not intended, but rather a consequence of a lack of sleep and ineptitude at properly articulating ideas.

Just to clear up a few things,

about the natives, my point was that during the late 1800s and early 1900s, there was an idea that the proper way to “solve” the native american problem was to give them what white people want, aka, traditional American style community, and an agrarian lifestyle. They assumed just because they (the anglos) wanted a good job, and a good piece of land, the natives would enjoy the same, and as we all know, this was not the case. To bring this back to the context of lgbt, with most of the gay people that I know, they agree that the lifestyle of white protestant society (not anti gay hate, that is not what I am talking about, I just mean stereotypical american life with 2 kids, a partner, a house in the suburbs, church on a weekly basis, ect) is not how they want to live.
The Hollywood gay men that I refferenced are friends of my step brother who are actually very influential in gay culture. (Ellen is the face, but who are the brains…)
