Indeed, excellent points, June. I haven’t had time to dig into this study yet, but I’m going to be curious to find out exactly what the researchers discovered.

I haven’t been young in eons, but when I was a young gay man in Iowa and later in New York City, I know my friends and I would have never called the police if we were in trouble.

My partner and I were attackef at the end of Christopher Street in Greenwich Village one night, and we certainly didn’t call the cops.

I’ve never really thought about that before, but the idea never even occurred to us. It was just unthinkable.
