The most important thing a society, culture and/or a community can do is to invest in the future. So we would think. Every generation seems to think that the young people coming into the world have got it easy.
Looking at how our grandparents lived gives us a clear indication of where we have been and where we are going. Each aging generation thinks that the emerging generations have got it good, and that they are being handed everything on plate which ungratefully take for granted.
Do we take what we have for granted? Yes we do. So why shouldnâ€™t every new generation have the same outlook?
How many TVâ€™s do you have in your house? how many cars? How many computers, telephone and how many time a year do you fly interstate or overseas? Now compare that to your grandparents.
Older homosexuals had it tough (or so we thought), and the new generations are growing up in a wonderfully accepting and tolerant society and world.
In Iran, itâ€™s been widely reported that teenage homosexuals have been executed recently.
What do the generations X & Y think? And what do older Gay and lesbian think about them?
To find out on Allegro we have Sangita & Peter representing the older Homosexuals, and Virginia and Petro representing the younger homosexuals, and together weâ€™ll look at these issues today.
