LOGO Forum
Kate,
Will we be treated to your take on last night’s Logo Prez Forum?
Were you dying for someone to ask Bill Richardson whether he thought he
was born Hispanic or chose to be that way?

Hi Margo,
Bill Richardson has done a lot of very gay positive things in his state. I really admire that about him.
The whole question of choice or born this way is such a trap in a sexual liberation movement.
The real issue is that it should be normal, healthy and natural to chose to have sex with someone of the same sex, whether it’s discovered we have a gay gene or not. No one ever asks if heterosexuals were born that way. I’m a lesbian and it’s the choicest choice I’ve ever made!!
Best,
Kate

Kate,
Is Bill Richardson truly where the humor stops for you?
I’m not overly attached to either side of the born gay/choose to be gay question either. But if a presidential candidate shows up at an LGBT forum, apparently without doing enough homework to even realize such a question exists, and then proceeds to duck behind the cover of being Hispanic every time he senses trouble, he has made a target of himself. And it seems you, who so consistently hit the bulls-eye, would see that.
Love your work,
Margo
