It's nice to know that you think my most basic civil right -- my equality under the law -- is not a pressing issue.
In taking your own rights for granted, you are discounting those of yours which I can only wish for.
We have waited over 20 years, how long do you expect us to quietly wait while we fund the campaigns of people who claim to be our "fierce advocates?" What is your advice to the gay community who has consistently been sidelined while "more important issues" like corporate welfare and starting wars have been put forward? "Shut up and pay up?"
The gay rights movement has momentum, and now is the time. Obama needs to stop sitting on his hands and move forward with the "change" he has been promising if he wants his GayATM to resume spitting out cash. :P
