To the Editor:Re “As a Gay Man, I’ll Never Be Normal,” by Richard Morgan (Opinion guest essay, nytimes.com, June 25):Mr. Morgan just reinforces the concept of normalcy.
Young people today don’t care so much about the “who is normal/abnormal” space that the author writes about.
We should not retreat from the many hues in our “rainbow” of people, including all those who dwell in the borders.
We should neither spend too much time separating out the colors (as the author does), nor dig our heels into concepts of “true” or “pure” queerness.
Young people aren’t normalizing queer; they are finding newer and braver ways of being themselves.
