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 |
Obama's suppose to meet with several human rights leaders on the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, next Monday I think. My hope is he walks out of that meeting and says this oppression as gone on long enough. I'm signing an executive order to stop all actions under the UCMJ until congress has time to repeal DA/DT. I think that's the right thing to do. I hope he does it. I fear he won't.
And I think gays and lesbians have been waiting longer then 20yrs.
