43. Did my questions scare you? Why can't you stand up and respond? You sure were free with the snark

and personal insults but when asked to clarify your remarks you go tellingly silent. People who post insults but refuse to answer actual questions have too much in common with Republicans for my taste.

I think nonsense is the crap some divisive straight people on DU are pulling. The LGBT community has been a leading driver in the opposition to TPP, but you would not know that from the endless fucking posts crafted to paint us as a bunch of rich white men concerned only with fashion and marriage. The ignorance on display is hard to fathom, it has to be aggressively maintained to be so fully devoid of knowledge about current events, LGBT priorities, organized labor in relation to LGBT politics (I can tell you are not a Union member from your rhetoric, by the way) y'all can't even put two and two together to figure out why the LGBT community is so very focused on patent law in regard to medicines, a huge part of the TPP and of course a central element to LGBT opposition to that agreement. Not to mention Brunei which is party to TPP executes gay people.
It's offensive that you won't even stand up and discuss these things. It's hard to believe you care about the TPP at all considering you won't discuss the actual politics and want instead to make divisions out of unity.
