Surely I am not the only one who remembers how ACT UP was viewed when it began? Talk about paranoia -- people were really getting carried away with their stereotypes and misinformation, and I'd be willing to wager most of those people vote Republican.

Even the name is degrading. The conference room will have only one entrance and no windows. Just like a big ol' closet. Homocon? Even the name is degrading.

Just like a big ol’ closet.

What on earth is "the American onion"? And what is Farah's definition of "materialistic", and how is it different from Madonna's? Stay tuned for the answer, after this commercial break.
