(USA) - Damian Pardo vividly remembers spring 1977. ''I was 13 and I knew I was gay,'' said Pardo, now a senior financial advisor at Merrill Lynch and longtime Miami-Dade activist. ``I had never discussed it with anyone, but I certainly was aware of it. Until then, no one had talked about homosexuality in Pardo's Coral Gables home. ''Before Anita Bryant? Never!'' he said. ``I thought I was the only one.'' ''It was all about stereotypes,'' he says. 'I remember it vividly, the `Save Our Children' theme. It was implicit that homosexuals were pedophiles and criminals. They were creating this image, the same way it was done during the Nazi era. They created monsters.''
