Gay people can and will survive any thing thrown at us.

You want to ignore us?
Fine - do so.

You want to say I have to put up with anti-LGBTIQ bullshit from the 'party' least damaging to me?

Fine. You run with that.

You want to say it's all about The Supremes?
Great.

You can say all of that - but brother if you don't seriously have my back - I'm not excited about voting to get yours.

I'll survive - my people will survive and continue to fight on fronts that matter.

But ignore me & mine or tell me & mine our shit don't matter?

I wish you Good Luck - maybe see ya in the future.
