a friend of mine dates an African American who has been active in civil rights for many years. she tells me that he is tired. she tells me that he is saying things like "this is worse than back in the '70s" and in our discussions, I feel overwhelmed thinking "if it's getting worse for blacks, there is little hope for the LGBT community." From what you've described, revtj, it's very much what this friend is telling me. Some have indeed sold out.
