Reply #6: I truely understand your anger

[dsc]

but this Thanksgiving I choose to look at the strides we have made. I am utterly amazed thinking on it. I never would have suspected the Lawerence decision would go our way. I didn't think the Massachusetts case would go our way. I also didn't think polls in the aftermath of that case would show that the public there supports the decision. It wasn't that long ago that gay bars were routinely raided and run by the mob. It wasn't that long ago that gays were barred from professions and adoption. It wasn't that long ago that gays were viewed as security risks unfit for government employment. In my lifetime much of that has been wiped away. We haven't arrived yet but we sure have gone a long, long way. It is easy to get frustrated. Lord knows I have and do. But I don't think we will be the Moses generation. I think we will see the promised land.
