10. You have no idea what people are doing.

This is a discussion board so it's hard to do anything here but post ideas and opinions.

I for one do not sit around and let them do anything. I have fought for years for equality and will continue to do so. Uncontested is wrong.

As for any state being "filled" with any type of voter based on an issue is wrong. Most elections have a distinct group who vote with those who represent equality.

You act as if it is as easy as pie to change ideas that have been entrenched by custom, heritage and religion. If it was easy it would have been done.

And who is YOUR and MY? I am gay and belong to that community by birth. I live in another community that is resistant to my orientation in several ways. Not all in this other group are unwelcoming. I have made many friends who do want change.

The trick is to meld these two groups so that one is not set apart by laws and manners from others.

You are demeaning the subgroup of people who are working for LGBT rights by lumping them in with the others who are resistant. They aren't all gay.

As far as owing someone, you aren't obligated to do anything to help. It would be nice to think that those in the LGBT community at large would reach out to others with at least a kind word.

Nonsupport is not the correct term. It's open hostility to anyone who tries to tell you that the state is not made up of mostly regressive people.

It's evident what the laws are and it's just as evident that there are many who oppose them. Building that group to a majority requires more than hectoring and we have no magic wand.

And I am not yelling. If I was yelling, I WOULD HAVE TYPED LIKE THIS.
