Homosexual Checklists, Then and Now

Queer checklist, 1972: "Go to store. Buy white wine and brie, and a Judy Garland album. Try to walk/look normal."

Queer checklist, 2022: "Buy a bullhorn and prance up and down the street, wearing outrageous clothes, screaming at full volume that I'm a queer and a trans, and dare anyone to oppress me. If somebody calls the police, accuse them, and the cops, of homophobia and transgender-phobia and file three frivolous lawsuits. Repeat this public-announcement march weekly, until trans surgery is complete (demand that Mom pay for it), then marry Steve and move to San Francisco."
