1. I support this.
   
GLBT Americans have been taken for granted for too long.

You'll continue to vote for the Dims and get the shaft from them because it's what you like.

6. Health Care is gay intensive as well.
   
Many of the heterosexual women I have worked with over the years, worked in our stifling corporate environment for one purpose: family medical coverage at levels and prices which are simply not possible for self employed people. Meanwhile, their husbands worked in high wage trades or self employment which would not be possible for a responsible person absent the corporate health insurance the wife was providing. Yes, there was the occasional sex role reversal, but the rule was as I have described it.

Once again, marriage rears its ugly head as a favored status in our society which is denied to same sex couples. Yes, many companies now have DP benefits, but as everyone here knows, that doesn't necessarily mean equal benefits when you get down to the tax ramifications and that sort of thing. Moreover, gay couples do not enjoy the economic mobility of their heterosexual counterparts, when changing jobs or cities for a gay couple raised the question of whether DP benefits will be available where they are going.

BS, most high wage jobs also include insurance benefits.

11. I thought we already were! I mean, Tim Kaine is simply anti gay
   
and I myself have boycotted them since he took over. And the 'gay organizations' are antiquated and self defeating, they exist to get salaries for themselves and nothing more. Also boycotting them. When broke, it is really great to go on a boycott bonanza, as it is soooo easy!

That is precisely why so many DUmmies are willing to jump on the boycott bandwagon.

15. I'm not sure what the Democratic leadership is thinking.
   
Do they think that shitting on LGBT rights is only going to create backlash among LGBT activists and that it isn't a significant enough number to hurt their chances of winning? Do they honestly think straight people won't be leaving with them? An awful lot of the Democratic party's base is pretty hardcore on the idea of equal rights for everyone. Empathy is what's supposed to separate us from Republicans...When we lose our empathy and our desire for equality for all, what do we have left?

Those straight supporters will dump the gays in a heart beat when it becomes in their best interest to do so.

I have news for the Little Goons and their fellow travelers:  Their is no "community" when it comes to homosexuals.  Homosexuals are the most selfish, self-involved, self-emoted creatures on earth.  Each one is an island, about an inch deep and a mile long.  The homo's life is absorbed by their need for a quivering prostate (or the female equivalent). 

The homos and Little Goons will be very unhappy, politically speaking, until they all realize no one REALLY gives a crap.  It's all an empty shell and a phony front.  NO ONE CARES.

Isn't there a market for that sort of thing?

That's what I've called him for several years now, and it fits.  Guy was at CU for a while and was so easy to slap around that it got to be routine and boring.

So now they want the "Two Girls, One Cup" rights too?!
