"If the thrust of most of the changes that took place over the past decade has been toward the construction and recognition of a homosexual minority, it is important to realize that this thrust is double-edged. On the one hand the recent changes have undoubtedly been important in developing a sense of self-confidence and acceptance among those who concieve of themselves as homosexuals; “gay pride” and “glad to be gay” were slogands that expressed this feeling very wel. On the other hand, the more stress that is placed on the idea of homosexual minority, the more difficult it is to recognize that homosexuality, whether acted out or repressed, is part of everyone’s sexuality and has implications for many people other than those who conceptualize themselves as part of the gay minority."
