revolution vs evolution...

when i look at a lot of the sterotypes of gays (not only in the media but everywhere) it seems that its all about superficial things... looks, accessories, camp etc...  
I cant say that i have ever seen the relationship side of gays widely spread around... and i agree that the stereotype that has been portrayed is damaging to gays...and i think that it is this stereotype that also creates a lot of anit-gay sentiment in society as we are viewd as sex-crazed superficial fags... 
But i also think that we need to be careful not to push the idea too fast... i believe that the true gay lifestyle needs to be attained in the media, but on the same hand we dont want to open public attacks against us unneccessarily. Rather than suddenly launching into a billioin different full-on gay movies and forcing it on people (revolution), i think that it needs to be slowly introduced and then pushed (evolution) - we just need to be careful that it is not pushed too slowly that this stereotype sticks forever, but not too fast that otherwise indifferent people become actively anti-gay. 
 
I have got to agree that the stereotype needs to be changed to show that we are not just the superficial fags that are often portrayed...and that currently it is doing us damage...
