"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A gigantic rainbow flag adorns one wall in Haiden Baier's new college dorm room, alongside a few photos, illustrations and the lyrics to a Fall Out Boy song. In past years, the University of North Florida junior said he would usually wait a few weeks to hang it up."

Mixed feelings about this. I'm sure it feels much safer for the students there.

OTOH, I don't want us ghettoized. I think society has an obligation to accept us as we are, and when we segregate ourselves, we relieve them of that obligation.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?
