Its a pity to analyze the politics that have marginalized the rights of those outside of the "heteronormativty" group. The issue is no longer something that can be ignored as people become increasingly conscious of their true identities and are seemingly supported to express themselves, but at a price. All individuals must be represented in our politics to perpetuate equality; therefore, the exclusive nature of how our government is ran must be revamped completely. For gay men to be misrepresented in our health system shows the lack of concern for the true welfare for its citizens. If society were less concerned with the placing people in catergories and boxes, the real issues such as disparities amongst the gay population and denial to sufficient health education and prevention.

I agree with your blog, partly because I understand how it feels to be excluded. Anyone who is in any type of marginalized group should understand how it feels to be invisible and/or excluded in society. The fact that it happens to other groups in tragic. Great response!
