Well, Pasha, you know you just might be my favorite lesbian. I respect the life you've lived and the people and causes you've represented. I admire the gays, lesbians and trans people who have come before me, you and the rest of us, who have allowed us to have the voices we do today.
I have been guilty, in the past, of generalizations that were hurtful, because of hurtful, backlash encounters I'd had. You are one of the people who has gotten me to look at those behaviors and adjust my perspective accordingly.
I like people who are willing to build bridges, not desperately cling to tired stereotypes.
