ce was rampant. An openly gay friend of mine and I
             were dancing and minding our own business one night in a
             club in Greenwich Village. We were not only verbally
             harassed by an observer who was standing near us but we
             were also pushed and told to go dance somewhere else.
             These kinds of incidents occur all the time. Homosexuals,
             as 2 well as those who support them, endure all types of
             ridicule. It is okay for someone to have their own opinions
             on matters; it is when one imposes his beliefs on others
             that it becomes wrong. I have come to realize that the way
             I view having gay friends and the way the general public
             views having gay friends are completely different. I am a
             heterosexual, black female who has a diverse group of
             friends. We became friends because we were attracted to
             eachother's differences and we respect eachother's
