Reply #25: As do I [View All]

For what it is worth, I am an Obama supporter. Still thinking he might pull this off.

But man...this is one hell of a bone-headed thing to do. Very hurtful to the GLBT community...to women, and to science (my ox that was gored).

I stand with the GLBT community, as well. This is legitimate outrage. The first time (McClurkin) was somewhat forgivable because there was a backlash that Obama should have/could have learned from. But there is no excuse this time, and this is one group that I am sick and tired of seeing thrown under the bus.

The last three elections in the US featured gays being hung out to dry for political expediency...and bless them, they took it and still came through for the Democrats even though they had little reason to do so. But that is enough sacrifice in the name of politics. We either stand up for human rights or "progressive" doesn't mean shit.
