Has the increased cultural visibility of LGBTs diluted the value of our brand? Will we lose our distinctively naughty outlaw spark on the day queers can no longer claim oppressed minority status? Did those who threw punches at Stonewall or stormed St. Patrick's Cathedral during the plague years of AIDS do so to secure our precious right to tone it down, raise a family and fit in? Is normalization, assimilation or other boxy buzzwords endig in "ation" a reasonable price to pay for the things we've gained? These are all valid, simple questions with obvious, definitive answers. . .
