Yoshino and mainstreamers

Yoshino feels that the term “mainstream” is a myth, because those who are considered mainstream are not truly mainstream. They too lack “an expression of their full humanity. The so-called mainstreamers do not experience the rights that minorities and gays are always urging to receive. These people are just being “obstacles” against the minorities and gays. I think his reasoning for this topic well represented. Why should someone receive rights that other people can not. Everyone, no matter their race or sexual preference, is lacking the same right to express themselves fully. My definition of mainstream is the practices of the majority in a certain area. The mainstream is considered the “normal” or “ideal” person of that region. This may not feel right to people, but it is what society has decided on throughout history.
