What is it that you want?

摘要

A straight man from Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood commenting on the integration of the gayborhood "aggressively waved his index finger in [Ghaziani's] face and said, 'This is what you wanted. You wanted equality. You wanted your rights. This is it!'" (Ghaziani, 2014: 91). Similarly, a straight woman in Chicago's Boystown neighborhood commented: "Isn't that what gays have always wanted? People are moving into a space that you originally carved out, and now it's just okay. You're accepted. We're all in this together. You don't need to have a segregated space anymore" (p. 88).
