[In which there is some more gay and also a movie]
Last night I watched an old Gregory Peck film called Gentleman's Agreement. In it, the Peck character prepares for writing an article on anti-Semitism by posing as a Jew himself. At a party he is introduced to a Jewish professor, and they have this exchange (thank heavens for the IMDb quote page):
Professor Fred Lieberman: "Millions of people nowadays are religious only in the vaguest sense. I've often wondered why the Jews among them still go on calling themselves Jews. Do you know, Mr. Green?"
Phil Green: "No, but I'd like to."
Professor Fred Lieberman: "Because the world still makes it an advantage not to be one. Thus it becomes a matter of pride to go on calling ourselves Jews."
I wish I had seen that movie a few years ago when a friend questioned the need for gay pride. Because the world still makes it an advantage not to be one.
