It’s commendable that you want to help your friend realize there are healthy ways of being gay. He needs to find this out on his own. Encourage him to contact the local gay community center. You may want to get some of their reading materials for him. I’m sure they have many programs and activities that would allow Ray to not only see that being gay is a healthy alternative to the life he’s been living, but he may also realize there are a lot of other ‘fish in the ocean’ and he doesn’t have to put up with an unhealthy relationship. You seem to be a very good friend to Ray, and you can help by continuing to be supportive, but Ray has to ‘do the work.’ He’ll be happy he did. Best of luck. E-mail if you’d like.

Your question seems to be based on an assumption that since animals don’t practice homosexual intercourse there must be something wrong with it. If you follow that reasoning then there are many other forms of human expression that animals do not share – speech, religion, marriage, music, theatre, arts, waging war, law, laughing – among others. Would you ask why as “higher” animals we engage in these practices as well? I see all these practices as what makes us human. Homosexual intercourse is simply another form of human expression, one that is just a valid as any other form.

Judy Garland played a very real role in the modern Gay Right’s movement. Prior to her death in 1969, Judy Garland was beloved by the New York City drag queen community. At that time the local New York gay bars were raided on a fairly regular basis by the local police force and it was not unusual for the raids to be humiliating and cruel.

On the evening of Judy Garland’s death, a bar in Greenwich Village, the Stonewall, was raided. The drag queens, already devastated by the death of their idol, finally rose up and fought back, successfully fighting-off the police. They had had enough! They could not even be left in peace to mourn Judy’s passing. The demonstrations continued over the next few evenings. Although there had been protests and demonstrations prior to this, the Stonewall rebellion is now symbolically celebrated internationally as the birth of modern Gay Rights.
