Reply #12: Since I wrote this, I have not seen a statement from ME

about what actually went down with Warren.

I have now read what was a rambling blog from her partner seemingly praising Warren.

That seems to paint them as poster children for tolerance of this particular bigot and their kumbaya moment.

I originally wrote this because, to be fair, I had not seen a response from Etheridge to Warren's version of their conversation and I did not imagine it to be similar to his.

In pointing that out, I felt that she should then not be used as an example of a gay person accepting Warren.

Who knows, maybe by now she is an admirer, along with Cole? Maybe tomorrow they will time her statement for impact and she will say he is a lovely man?

Things move very quickly on the inter net, while I wrote this thread the partner's blog was put up. By tomorrow ME may be having lunch with Rick? This is all a little surreal.

All I can say is, it matters little if Melissa does the right thing and remembers who the real Warren is and what he has said or not.

I know what he represents.

For all I know the blog is a phony, or ME has no idea what is on it, or somehow she is now clueless about gay marriage and civil rights, or has her own agenda?

Two wrongs don't make a right, RW was the wrong choice for the invocation and ME might just be wrong about him if she's been suckered in.

It also doesn't change Cole's fawning article meant to soothe reasonable gay apprehension about Warren and the implications for our future politically with this administration.

I did learn the value of this "outreach" which is getting those repug voters over,even though gay rights may have to be sidelined, as those are not negotiable for Warren, even if ME and partner, the hollywoodfarmer's sister's, daughter's bride or what ever she calls herself, have lunch and dinner and he hugs and swallows 1,000 "honey" bunnies.

This is a WTF day.
