Again, as a gay man I look at that and say there's a hopelessness that surrounds it, but as a human being I look at it and say 'Why? Where's this disparity coming from, and why can't we as a culture and society dig deeper to examine that?' We're terrified of facing ourselves. ↗

The whole thing is quite hopeless, so it's no good worrying about tomorrow. It probably won't come. ↗
