You're right that I didn't give you the benefit of the doubt, and for that I apologize. What I should have written was that you seemed to be suggesting that women had an easier road to having a kiss on the parade, which seems unfair. While it might be true that they were able to clear that final hurdle, it has taken them far, far longer to gain a presence as leading characters in their own stories in mainstream theater as compared to gays (which I take it you agree with).
I judged your intention unfairly, but I still bristled at an action which seemed to minimize the achievement of lesbian stories in theater. They've had a longer road than we have, and an achievement for them is an achievement for all of us. |
