We’re about to demonstrate who we are and what we’re made of… first to ourselves and then to the straight world. We’re about to take the real test, the one we’ve been studying to take for years.

I am, however, somewhat intrigued, perhaps even perplexed by the term “decent.” I wonder how many New Yorkers observed a pair of shirtless queers in short shorts and remarked, “What a couple of decent young men!”

It will always be a challenge to demonstrate our true, most joyful, most defiantly queer nature and at the same time be seen by the het set as “decent.”
