I think this, though long, is well worth reading

It is the Gay Liberation Manifesto (1972)

Read it and consider how far we have come and how far we have to go.

The distance we have come is because of people of my generation and before (though not me. I was closeted in 1972) and those who have come after us.

The distance we have to go is in the hands of today's activists, and today's youth, Gay and Straight alike.
