PLEASE INDULGE ME HERE:
THE GLBTQ PARADE in the last 10 years at least
has been FULL OF
FOLLY
FROLICK
&
FOOLERY
with mostly young folk
and their blaring horrible music
with little understanding
of the history of homosexuality
in AMERICA!
the fight to get what they have now
took a lot of people to their graves
if not prison
and other horrendous crimes against humanity
I find the modern parades distasteful due to
a lack of decorum, propriety and dignity !
In the 70's and 80s
The HOMOSEXUAL parades were serious
sad mournful sullen.
They were fighting to stay alive
AIDS had hit them hard !
as an INTERN in ROOSEVELT HOSPITAL all of a sudden certain young gay men had to be quarantined for
their immune system was being destroyed
by something unknown to
MODERN MEDICINE ...
i was gowned to the hilt anytime i drew blood or
examined patients !
I remember it all too well....
this image
circa 1983
is quite
a contrast to
2018
the GLBTQ march
in
MANHATTAN
-AMEN-
