You we're there, and you knew what it was like. I guess Rich was unusually unaware.<br /><br />Catherine, I doubt that my grandchildren think I'm cool.

I had a gay friend in graduate school. I knew he was gay, but we never talked about it. <br /><br />I don't know what Harvard was like when Rich was there.June Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723016934182800437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-54511716144049145392009-06-29T18:49:43.625-05:002009-06-29T18:49:43.625-05:00Frank Rich was unusually unaware at Harvard -- or ...Frank Rich was unusually unaware at Harvard -- or perhaps he just wasn't Episcopalian.<br /><br />susankay '66susankayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15513759507628166408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-30043276523346457532009-06-29T16:00:05.138-05:002009-06-29T16:00:05.138-05:00Thank you all.

At one point in reading this post...Excellent tone. At one point in reading this post, I had to go back a few sentences to see where the quoted text from Frank Rich had ended, and where your commentary had begun. <br /><br />I especially LOVE your use of the word "folks" to refer to those of us who identify as either LGBTorQ.<br /><br />And, Mimi, a heartfelt gay hug from a fellow bayou blogger. I read your blog "religiously" but oh so much moreso "gaily" and daily. <br /><br />On a sad note, have you seen what the police did in Fort Worth TX on the 40th Anniversary of Stonewall? See the story all over the gay blogosphere, as exemplified by the fine reporting at http://planetransgender.blogspot.com/2009/06/rainbow-lounge-raid-routine-inspection.htmlWe' Po' Now, Crapaud!https://www.blogger.com/profile/15628784064853173388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-41034574000089104972009-06-29T06:11:34.440-05:002009-06-29T06:11:34.440-05:00No need to feel ashamed.
I presume most people do...No need to feel ashamed.<br /><br />I presume most people don't know this history, including most gay folk. It's only been in recent years (within the last 10) that scholars have begun to research it and publish it. Earlier histories, such as they were, were short and written by activists, usually as memoirs or commentary.<br /><br />I didn't know most of this stuff until about 5 years ago, and I'm still finding out a lot of things that I never knew.Counterlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345956180434795401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-10122888190482207142009-06-28T23:53:44.625-05:002009-06-28T23:53:44.625-05:00Thanks, Mimi.

So many still don't know who we really are though all our lives are intermingled.<br /><br />You cannot imagine how much I appreciate your witness in this, as in so many areas. You are a true friend.<br /><br />Sorry I missed your call.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06090720645937634051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-31441592184449635472009-06-28T23:37:35.245-05:002009-06-28T23:37:35.245-05:00I'm so glad you posted this.
