Reply #30: Even if we go along with what you want [View All]

"Look I support gay marriage and gay rights, and don't get me wrong I do not like Warren, but SOME OF the gay people are making far too big a deal out of this..EXCESS supposed STRAWMAN SNIPPED"

You're basically saying "I support gay marriage and gay rights, and don't get me wrong I do not like Warrent, but gay people are making far too big a deal out of this than I am comfortable with."

You're still putting it is straight people's hands to define how far GLBT people can go to act up, protest or argue for our own rights.

What is your role in helping us? Are you here to help us get further, or are you here to stop us at a certain point before we start offending other sensitive straight people? That's a damned serious question?

If you are here to help us get equal rights and you want us to move forward, then that's great. Do something, anything to help us move forward. But if you only role is to say "Stop, don't go any farther forward right now. You're offending people." Then you're a Stop Sign and a Road Block, not an ally. You're part of the opposition.

The people who don't really give a damn about our equal rights will always find reasons to be offended. They will always find reasons why we should slow down, or wait, or be quieter. Stop Signs and Road blocks don't move us forward.
