a recent more positive reception towards the gay community as a whole in Atlanta and increasing numbers of black gays and lesbians who have come out in the past five years. Kotherine believes nonetheless that coming out still unfortunately remains a privlidge of high economic status for blacks. She notes the need for a separate black gay and lesbian movement outside the mainstream gay and lesbian movement in Atlanta because of unique race concerns and the black need for acceptance from within the power bases of their community which has thus far been hesitant to accept them.
