Right is right.

It takes a lot of courage to speak out about "anything" they see as unfair, even when they speak out against the way we in HoF may have mis-handled some things. Good on those, who act upon their courage in a honest, constructive way.

Due to mis-understanding, we, HoF are not always right in our approach either. And neither are they.

I pray that all the DU feminist groups will some day over-come our Hatfields and McCoy type disagreements and find a way to work together for the good of all women.

I must admit that would be easier if the men in LGBT would leave us alone to work out our own problems.

We women are really all in the same sinking boat. I hope we can all make it to shore safety together.
