This is why I love Madonna. She’s always been my favorite. She spoke at the GLAAD awards, dressed in a Boy Scout uniform, and called on the BSA to end their discriminatory practices. She presents an award to Anderson Cooper, who recently came out on national TV. She gives a very good speech about the national and international state of prejudice against LGBT people, bullying, and how we cannot accept this as we move forward. She points out that homophobia is no different than a white man hanging a black man before the civil rights movement, or the Taliban shooting a young girl in the head because she blogged about equal education for girls. I totally agree. Homophobia is no different than racism or sexism or any of the past prejudices which have come to fall from popular discourse. Homophobia is on its way out. Please read my February 6th blog about how I used to be a Boy Scout and call on the BSA to end discrimination against LGBT youth, as well as my work in civil rights.
