Jasun: Funny song... BUT : For me it's not about trying to move something ultimately impossible. You are implying that is foolish, which it would be.

As it's plainly obvious on GWW, I enjoy standing up for what I believe in. Don't you think that the whole gay rights movement has become so .... how shall I say ... so bourgeois?

As gays and lesbians, is really our best means to advance gay rights going to L.A. Gay Pride day and dancing shirtless in some park in West Hollywood drinking margaritas in open containers? Or is it writing a $200 check to the Human Rights Campiagn Black Tie Dinner so we can all eat caviar and drink champagne while dressed to the nines? Or is it purchasing a subscription to the Advocate?

Is that all? Now I have fun at gay pride events, but I like to go beyond that for something more meaningful.

The purpose of coming out isn't some unachievable dream to accomplish world peace and love. It is to show the others around you that we want to be treated like everyone else, and not as a second class citizens.

We are a two party political system, so for me rather then stand on the outside and throw rocks, I'm pragmatic enough to pick a team that I can be comfortable with, and work from the inside. That's what for me makes politics kinda fun.
