5. I'm not gay so I wasn't thrown under the bus right away,
but I was disappointed at prop hate because we polys are waiting for the gays to get their due rights so that we can start agitating for ours. We aren't going to do anything to get in their way. I've noticed an easing over the last few weeks because of what happened in Egypt, Libya and even in Wisconsin and Ohio. None of those issues had one whit to do with gay/not gay or even much to do with the other bugaboo religious vs. non. We're just for a time pulling together.

I guess because I'm not gay, I didn't realize there was a gay purge and I'm wondering if there is any concrete way to fix that.

As far as getting us to sing happy songs around the Obama campfire, my happy voice got wobblie when Rahm showed up and I'm so disgusted with our guy that I couldn't even manage rage today when I heard about him keeping open Guantanamo bay open - what a surprise, not.

We've got a really, really big problem going on right under our feet and we need our GLBT sistern and bethren to be side by side as we figure out what We The People and that includes We The Gay People are going to do now.

I believe it was Ben Franklin that quipped,"You have a Republic, if you can keep it.". I'm not sure anymore that we can. but I do know that we need everyone who truly believes in equality for all (but the oligarchs) to the barricades. Peacefully, peacefully. Ghandi was right. It is a force that cannot be broken except by violence.
