Poll should the DNC move its Convention out of North Carolina

[Zorra]

61. There's always been too much on the table when it comes to LGBT rights.

People said the same things to me/us before the election of 2008. STFU and wait until after the election. You'll get your rights for sure then, yessirrreee bob you will, you can take that to the bank!!!

We had a huge Democratic majority in the House and Senate, and a Democratic President. Our basic human rights should have been the main course on the table right then and there. Instead, Democrats did not act, and basically, any chance for equality was squandered, and then lost, after the GOP took the House in 2010.

And now, here I am, being told to sit down, STFU, and wait once again?

Lovely. Just lovely.

Same shit, different day.

And what's this all about?

"it looks extremely, I mean EXTREMELY suspect"

Suspect? Because I think it might be a good thing for Democrats to shun and boycott North Carolina, and send a huge symbolic message that there is absolutely zero fucking tolerance for institutionalized bigotry, hatred and inequality, I should be suspected of being a troll because I believe this?

That appears to be some really serious FUD bullshit directed at me and much of the LGBT community as well, and we will not be silenced in the face of threats or bullying..

Very insulting. So basically every LGBT poster at DU is now a suspected troll in your estimation, because we believe that we should have had our basic human rights yesterday, rights that you have had all your life, is that what you are trying to say? We need to STFU, and not question, nor advise, the Democratic Party, or risk another LGBT purge, is that it?

For pete's sake, patrice, please, get a grip, FGS.

Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity. A right delayed is a right denied. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
When you are right you cannot be too radical; when you are wrong, you cannot be too conservative. Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: - 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'

The hope of a secure and livable world lies with disciplined nonconformists who are dedicated to justice, peace and brotherhood.
