But as a gay American, I've experienced prejudice and even hatred, and I've forged meaning and I've built identity, which is a move I learned from people who had experienced far worse privation than I've ever known.
ali kao gej Amerikanac, iskusio sam predrasude i čak i mržnju, i lažirao sam značenje i izgradio identitet, što je potez koji sam naučio od ljudi koji su iskusili mnogo veću oskudicu nego što sam ja ikad poznavao.
