Or just be a normal gay or LGBTETC person without a flag. No need to wave it everywhere you go because then you're not normalizing anything.
What's a normal gay? A flag bearing gay is also a normal gay? That's like comparing introverts and extroverts.

Yeah I've never understood why people have to wave their ever changing rainbow flags everywhere they go to constantly show the world they're gay etc.
Perhaps because most of them grew up having to hide who there were from loved ones/peers for fear of being judged? I imagine if I had grown up with a secret for most of my life and finally told the world about it, I too might decide to wave a flag on main street.

Maybe the day every country in the world makes it legal to be gay, and when children don't fear the repercussions of "coming out" to their parents, or the judgement of their religion, maybe then will be the day rainbow flags won't be needed anymore.

Normal gay is someone that goes about being a normal person without seeking attention or drawing unnecessary attention to his/her sexuality. He/she finds no joy in waving a flag around as they have better things to do like being a normal person and they are not easily politicized, very important.

What is normal? Buying a house? getting married? Having kids? Cycling? Owning DSTV?

I would imagine gay people in Qatar find it very difficult to live their lives like other people, that's kind of the point.

You must be really old then. That word has been the equivalent of "faggot" for decades.
I'm an 80's kid.
And when we starting using moffie I still thought of girls as gross. At that time you could try and explain to me what a gay is and in no way would it make since.

Moffie was a coward.
