70. I beg your pardon?
I have been working for equal rights for the LGBT community since the early 1970s. To say "Gay community does not understand what a political hot potato their issues are" is just plain ignorant and insulting. We live that "hot potato" every day and there are costs for that. Some pay with their lives; all pay when our relationships are ridiculed and considered unworthy of the material benefits accorded to heterosexual married couple. We know what Bill Clinton did. Instead of posting sanctimonious lectures, perhaps you could sit back, shut up and read what the LGBT community here has to say before you jump into this debate. And welcome to DU. I hope it's an eye-opening experience for you.
