Reply #100: It is a call for common ground

Where is the cooperation between gays and lesbians who righteously challenge the gender status quo and the women who challenge it from a different angle? Would a successful Equal Rights Amendment lead to more equality for homosexuals? Would civil rights for gays and lesbians lead to more equality for women?

So when the Republicans-- in their desperation-- trot out the Gay&Lesbian Frankenstein for Halloween, let’s not get too scared by their smoke and mirrors.

If some Democrats respond with concern that gay rights could hurt the outcome of the November election, let’s question the manipulative and skanky tactics of the Republicans rather than dispute the claim of homosexuals to equal treatment under the law.

Let's question that compliant, complacent corporate media as it supports and broadcasts the hatemongers lies. Let's not buy into using "strategery" that we don't believe in but think is necessary anyway.

If some gays and lesbians appear frightened or angered by the attacks of the Republicans and the lack of support within their own party, let’s look for where we can build coalitions that will lead to success for the rights of all. So we can all use our time and energy to look at more “important” issues.



Thank you for asking
