Besides the ugly news from Russia and Poland, there's been a steady stream if stories of hate crimes in WI, as well as their poltical madness. Recently from BigGayNews: "The Pioneer Press reports that the organizer of what would have been Wausau [WI]’s first gay pride parade has cancelled it, saying he has experienced a wave of ugliness in the community. Daxx Bouvier, who is from California but owns a home in Wausau, said that he made his decision to cancel the parade following the negative comments from a Wausau City Council member and a number of articles in the local media caused people planning to be in the parade to be concerned for their own safety. Bouvier said that he does not plan to organize any future gay pride events in the city."

It's a little like having formal rights at work all of a sudden but still having to navigate the same ignorance and hostility every day, along with enjoying the camraderie of the same friendly, supportive people. Changed, yet not at all.
