out for the same things, much less uses any of the string of absurd ppr' worthy adjectives you toss about 'the fucking devil, staasi' turd, reprehensible. You can not demonstrate that this double standard you claim is anything but fiction in need of a hard sell, hence the word avalanches and extreme rhetoric.
You say there are 'some' who display this extraordinary double standard. This is the 'cue' from which you draw conclusions. But it is a fiction you made up. Show me someone fawning over Clinton about DOMA while attacking Clinton. Show me.
Me and my friends, straight and gay, were protesting DOMA and DADT at the time. Millions of us voted for Obama instead of Hillary BECAUSE of DOMA and DADT.
So support your assertions, your characterizations, your observations, your turd in a devil's punch bowl poetry on the subject. Show it to be true.
Otherwise it is just you shouting and screaming and using lots of strong words. Why not back up them up?
