Male chauvinism, however, is not central to us. We can junk it much more easily than straight men can. For we understand oppression. We have largely opted out of a system which oppresses women daily our egos are not built on putting women down and having them build us up. But we need to purge male chauvinism, both in behavior and in thought among us.
Chick equals nigger equals queer.
Think it over. . . . As liberated gays, we must take a clear stand. Gays who stand out have become our first martyrs. They came out and withstood disapproval before the rest of us did. If they have suffered from being open, it is straight society whom we must indict, not the queen.
