A gay man who has never experienced prejudice

"prejudice |ˈprejədəs|
noun
1 preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience"

Someone I know claims that he has never experienced any form prejudice as a gay man. But, the gay community as a whole faces many stereotypes and prejudices, like being AIDS ridden sluts and always having unsafe sex, to only name a couple. Its obvious that he hasn't really opened his eyes nor been involved enough in the gay community or gay rights to actually know what prejudice is and how it affects us.

It is so frustrating to me that there are so many homosexuals who really don't care about gay rights, not even enough to know what prejudice is. How are we to actually achieve greater societal acceptance if we have a huge proportion of our population being apathetic? Its ridiculous. It makes the fight that much harder. Every homosexual I know hates being called a fag and being gay bashed, yet many refuse to do anything about it. Its time we all stand united together to fight for equitable treatment. This actually applies to any and all minority groups.

Encounters like these really irritate and sadden be, but at the same time motivate me to do better and fight for what's right. I'm now thinking of Harvey Milk, what an inspirational man.
