(73,693 posts)The First Lady didn't have the time nor patience to kiss the lilly white ass of some screaming sob sister when she was trying to make an important point about needy kids.
But, obviously here, those kids and all the people who paid their money listen to the Michelle Obama just had to take the backseat to an interrupting person who had every right, in your esteemed opinion, to go all off subject with an issue that wasn't even in the conversation at all.
Now at what point did Michelle Obama tell Ellen Sturtz that she was dismissing the needs of LGBT rights
When she offered that slogan shouting person the mic and the podium?
Perhaps you can inform me on how Michelle Obama could have solved Sturtz's concern as she was being interrupted in mid sentence and shouted at?
But no, everything has be dropped, no matter what the other important subject is and the First Lady was required to take the time to address some person who's screaming at her. Nothing else matters, I imagine.
Michelle Obama didn't disrespect all LGBT people by offering Sturtz the floor and you know it. There are quite a few other LGBT people around here who have said that as much.
But maybe the next time when Michelle Obama wants to give a speech about childhood obesity, gun violence, poverty, nutrition or sports to a paying crowd, she can pencil in a spot for the next off-topic heckler for equal time. Especially if it's an off-topic subject that you're so fervently concerned about at the time
Or at all times with the exclusion of everything else.
Would that help?
