I came across this video. Pretty good stuff… We have a similar thing going on with issues like racism and others here in the US--along with homophobia.

powerful and so true... I know of many people that * check themselves * to see why they stand out and how better they can * fit in *.... and how its the homophobics that are victims of homophobia, not the people they target.....
I can not fit in to the mainstream, I never did and I never will.... and if I could choose to fit in, I would choose not to, I am me for better or worse and that is why I am me and not a nameless face in the crowd... and if I had to fit in, then I lose my identity as me, a individual that is me..... but regardless of the fact that I do not fit in, there is the constant pressure to fit into some group, the out and proud, the activist, the sexually active with multi partners bisexual, the monogamous and never look at another person ......the list goes on......
it makes me ask how many times we try to make others fit in or how often we check ourselves to make sure that we are doing the right things to fit into the group that we * belong to *.....
phobia is about wanting to deny and exclude the people that do not * fit in * the group or image that we want people to see.... and panti is right, we can also be the phobics, we all can when we talk about how other people do not fit in or belong or they are the * undesirables * that we do not want in our * world * or in our * bisexual community *.....
very powerful 10 ( almost 11 minutes ) of video, volty, so true and so honest........

Good expression of how things are. Reminded me of a fourth of July
outing. This particular fourth elian had came to see me.
Me and wife had planned to see a local fireworks celebration. We invited
elian out with us. Our planning was for me and elian to go off to
ourselves after the celebration, if I recall correctly.
If one knew, they would have seen me loving on my wife and elian. But it
hurt so much to not be able to simply reach out to him, hold hands like
with my wife. Small town America in the Bible belt would have made hay
over that.
But we all three enjoyed the fireworks. I walked between the two of
them, behind them just a step. Once I nearly brushed up behind elian. It
would have been a bit embarrassing as I was half aroused by a sense of
eroticism.
Yet it still hurts to have not been able to have held his hand, in
public. Ours is a society of hate. We need it overthrown and replaced
with a society of love, soon.
