(4,507 posts)a convention full of speaker after speaker who said tangible, clear, and powerful things in support of LGBT rights.
Equal rights isn't the souffle in that analogy - 1 appearance placed against hundreds of speakers is the souffle.
And for God fucking sake - I've got this fucking administration SHOOTING FUCKING WOLVES FROM THE SKY - how the fuck do you think I feel about that as an animal advocate - and yet I'm willing to play ball because what's best for my country is this party instead of the other one.
Souffle?
Do you know what I got served at this convention? Shit, Shit, and Jack Shit.
Shit for breakfast, shit for lunch, shit for afternoon tea, shit for dinner, and a massive dump on my pillow instead of a turn down chocolate.
The whole shpiel is going to be "DU is gay-bashing etc. etc." - do you have any idea what the fuck an animal advocate goes through here day after day after day?
Animal suffering happens to be the issue of MY LIFE.
But I deal with it.
No one is gay bashing because they think that a speaker we join with you in hating is not enough to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
It's great that LGBT rights have not only come as far as they have, but have come to be embraced so fully by this party.
I doubt much of anyone here is against that. I sure as hell am not.
But this all is starting to, as one says, "get my goat."
