Mr. Savage: "There's often an ignorance. Young gays and lesbians are raised by older gays and lesbians. You know, Jewish kids with Jewish parents will hear about Massada and Warsaw Uprising, because they learn Jewish culture from their Jewish family. Gay kids are raised almost invariably by heterosexual parents. Often by heterosexual parents, who are hostile to gay culture and hostile to their gay kids, seeking to deprive them of role models. Young gay kids, when they first came out, were usually really ignorant about gay history. By the time they're 30, they've usually educated themselves and learned some things about gay history along the way. But 18, 19, 20 years old gay kids ar ignorant by design. Not by the fault of their own."
