This piece I found on the LA Times site is about the changing views of homosexuality. A large part of it is based on an interview with Alan Weeks, a 78 year old gay man from Los Angeles. He talked about his experiences being gay before there was such a gigantic taboo. This is an effective persuasive piece because it shows how, years ago, even though people weren't open about it, being gay wasn't considered this huge deal. I think this article shows that there can be a life without these unnecessary prejudices. I don't think anyone should have to hide who they are, such as Weeks did. But, the article does show that as a society we can all treat each other as equals, and no harm can come from that, as we should all know.
