Reply #104: vinegar, meet fly

[sui generis]

we already don't have the right to get married. We can already be fired for being gay. Our families are already not recognized. We already can be fired for serving openly in the military, although we are everywhere in the military and have been forever.

Our nose was cut off a long time ago. All that some of us have left is spite.

Having said that, if you want our support, ask for it. Nicely. Give us something besides threats and ridicule if you're serious. Represent us and our issues.

Or stop asking.

Anyway, nuance is lost here - we're supporting progressive candidates. I can't say I speak for "all of us" but I do have an important voice in my community, and I'm not voicing a plan so much as a sentiment. It's interesting to see how the reply here sometimes falls short of inclusion.

This is what we hear "Your issues don't matter as much, because they're, you know, gay issues" "Your vote matters, you'll cause the election to go to the GOP". "You owe us". "You're going to hell if you don't vote for who we tell you to vote for", and so on.

The honey pot is sitting right in front of you, if you only open it and use it. What's so hard about that?
