    I do, however disagree with the notion that groups who felt marginalized are due some sort of compensation because social attitudes changed.

    How about groups who were actually marginalized?

    Surely you don't think that a minority who felt marginalized might not have been actually marginalized? Gee, I'm surprised at you if you think that, denying a minority their truth.

      Private dollars, private prom.

      Feel free.

      Although I detect a whiff of victimhood. You're 50-something years old people. Get over it. I graduated over 45 years ago and we had a queer in our class. Jimmy was quite "out" in his sexual preferences. Believe it or not, he took a girl to the prom and by what I could tell, he had a lot of fun at the dance.

      I suspect some of us of the heterosexual persuasion had more fun afterwards, but then, I'm not sure what Jimmy did afterwards.

        It is OK for all you guys to marginalize whatever or whomever you want to marginalize.

        Go for it.

        Celebrate your freedom.

                        Yep. We had a couple clearly gay guys but everyone had known them since kindergarten so it was no big whoop. One sadly died of AIDS. Curiously my home town has more issues with race but has always been very tolerant for gays and lesbians.

                          I can't help but notice you didn't answer my question. I will happily answer yours, as soon as you demonstrate a capacity to join me in a good faith discussion where we respond to each other.

                          Let's usher in a new day at TNCR, of good faith discussions.
