(45,319 posts)so that the LGBT community is not, yet again, stuck being the only Democrats actually speaking the truth and calling for justice. They need to stop accepting the Dolans, who do in fact define their community and their faith, it is their job to say 'we are not that' and to let the Party know that any donations made are made in spite of Dolan, not because of him.
This is politics. Last convention, the President said he would demand a public option, then he simply did not. So the rhetorical 'support' of equality might have all the meaning of other politically expedient statements. Later, people will say 'it was an election, politicians say things in elections, you didn't really think that was going to happen did you'....show me law, show me my rights, rhetoric is often tossed aside, but the law is the law. What more do I want? Equal rights in reality, not in some pie in the sky by and by future.
