(27,813 posts)That's why you can't produce any links to my saying anything remotely like what you've alleged. They just don't exist.
My comments on the thread you linked to:
"I think all kinds of people give a damn about LBGT rights - as do I, my friends, my family members. My initial comment about "giving a damn" was aimed at the OP's diatribe - NOT the issue of equal rights. And I really don't think Obama - or the world at large - gives a damn whether he is going to withhold his vote or not."
"The fact remains that withholding one's vote accomplishes absolutely nothing - except, of course, giving the Republicans a shot at being elected. And THAT is a shot - no matter how small or far-fetched in the great scheme of things - anyone who wants to see equal rights for the GBLT community knows is counter-productive in the extreme.
The fight for REAL equality for gays/lesbians has been a long struggle, and will continue to be for some time to come. I realize that many people are tired of waiting for what should be obvious under the Constitution - that ALL citizens have the right to be equally protected, and equally recognized as full citizens on every level.
However, withholding one's vote, or rallying others to consider doing so is completely bereft of the compassion of which you speak. It is rather, IMHO, a demonstration of a lack thereof - because the citizens who need and deserve the support of those willing to fight this battle are instead being left to the mercy of the very people who would diminish their rights, rather than uphold them."
Yeah, that's some real anti-LGBT stuff right there, huh?
I think we all know who the "inveterate liar" here is - it's the one claiming I said things I didn't, and then can't come up with the links to prove their allegations.
