The problem with you middle-class gay guys is, you pass for white. You move to the metropolitan gay centres, and you’re more or less closeted–“private”, you’d call it–when you step outside the ghetto. You assimilate yourselves, and suddenly you’ve got property to protect and money invested. I ask you, what impelled the militants of the civil rights movement of the sixties? You know what impelled them? They had nothing to lose. That’s how they could brave the police dogs and the fire hoses. Even torture and death. Could you have done that?
