Sadly, the “Claps” allotment caps at 50. Consider my 50 claps as one grain of sand floating in the Arabian desert.

One of the topics we cover in my coming out groups is the topic of perspective. How each person’s coming out is perceived differently by each person they decide to be themselves with. We then go on to explore how — now that their aware of what discrimination feels like — never ever be the source of discrimination.

Over the decades I continue to marvel at how on the one hand — my rainbow oriented tribe rallies to the cause of equality. On the other hand said tribal gatherings have their cliques defined by age, appearance, ability, fetish, etc. Each clique normalizes discrimination based on group ideals.

Example — try enjoying a leather bar on leather night dressed in anything but leather. Good luck! LOL
