Over the Rainbow ? We take a critical look at the "gay identity" in this spicy show and ask the question: How do we as gays and lesbians achieve equality without erasure? We hear some answers from Jesse Sanford and the Gay Shame movement in San Francisco. Then Louise Rafkin in Provincetown shares her rainbow nightmare with us. Joan Schuman and Laurel Hermes hold a generational tea party in Tucson; and writer Harlyn Aizley tells of being in the fishbowl at her pre-natal yoga class in Boston.

Exactly what I've been waiting for
I can't emphasize enough the value of these voices and considerations. As the queer landscape transforms at breakneck speed over mere days, months, snap-of-the-fingers decades, we hardly have time to reflect on what has been lost and what has been gained by mainstream visibility and representation. This piece asks tough questions when the prevailing sentiment seems to be that there are no more tough questions. Kudos!
