Greetings:
Lee, your comments sound like little more than a bunch of ramblings from a man that hasn't taken the time to understand the issues that he's attempting to speak about.
What in the hell does this have to do with anything? Dumb people aren't allowed to love each other now? Unfortunately not everyone can be as "intelligent" as you obviously are Lee....Originally Posted by Lee
Yes, we all know that having pride in oneself is just a horrible thing.Originally Posted by Lee
Pride marches are about making our place in the community known. It's no different than similar marches held by any other interest group in our country, and are certainly nothing that anyone should be ashamed of.
Again, you're showing a total lack of understanding in two key areas:Originally Posted by Lee
1. A marriage license isn't about proving love, it's about being granted the over 1,200 legal rights and protections that come along with said piece of paper. Do you expect congress to specifically update each and every one of those 1,200 laws to project homosexual couples? No. The only realistic way to achieve those protections is through marriage.
2. As for the political issues. As someone that's been active in the Democratic Party for over a decade, including donating tens of thousands of dollars to the DNC, working for Hillary Clinton's Senate Campaign, and designing the network for President Clinton's NY home, I can tell you it was NOT the Democrats that brought gay marriage into the last presidential debate. It was the REPUBLICANS who brought the issue into the campaign, in hopes of rallying their conservative base. A tactic that you can thank Bush's buddy Carl Rove for.
You seem to forget Lee, that it wasn't that many years ago that Gays were being mass exterminated, their bodies being fed into the same ovens as the Jews. In parts of the world today, Gays are still being executed on a regular basis by governments.
In our own country, we lack even some of the most basic human rights, including the open pursuit of happiness. Conservative groups are rallying to deny us of even more.
Now is not the time to take a lackadaisical attitude about such things. At the very least, you shouldn't be criticizing those that work hard and make sacrifices to make the each of our lives better....
