re: "How to Talk to Kids About Drugs in the Age of Fentanyl" (The New York Times, November 23, 2022)
That took me back near 50 years. I haven't been to a gay bar for a couple of decades now, but they were indeed a lifeline in 1970s Sydney. Whilst their continued existence in communities is reassuring, it's sad that gay bars are yet needed because segments of society yet hate and fear moral progress, terrified even of its whispers.
Who is more directly harmful to society and children: a drag queen rocking a gay bar (or book reading, or prom, or anywhere else) or a priest, bishop, imam, reverend got up in sacred vestments too camp as he preaches supernaturally dubious claims and hellish intolerance because the authors of an ancient text wrote their inherited patriarchy, ignorance, and bigotry into it?

For all the usual reasons, as Ms Hough sets them forth, Qatar is perhaps the timely example of a society in desperate need of some gay bars.
