Really DU? So now it's ok for DU to go homophobic? [View all]

Really?

To suggest that their is no reason for LGBT people to support HRC after her unfortunate Nancy Regan remarks is pathetic, ignorant and homophobic! LGBT people are not supporting Hillary because they feel that she will best carry out the "gay agenda", she is receiving the support because we believe that she is the best all around candidate for the job, including her flaws.

Never thought I live to see the day that I'd see this permitted on DU, it's beyond angering! Especially watching the OP antagonize other people into altering on the post, knowing that Sander's supporters will permit it to stand!
