Reply #920: Jeff, just yesterday you posted to me "Thanks. Didn't know that"...

... when I posted a map of the U.S. depicting the miserable state of affairs as it pertains to legislation/protection of LGBT rights in the workplace nationwide.

This was in the "Two Gay Men Kicked Out of The Pool" thread.

You didn't KNOW that?

First off, how can ANY long time DUer NOT know the situation = that gay people can be fired, denied housing AND kicked out of public pools in half the country for being gay?

Secondly, how can you, in one breath, lecture LBGT DUers for being "single issue" and vow to "have our backs" when you don't even KNOW our BASIC issues?

I don't mean to single you out. You seem like a nice guy. But I was APPALLED at the level of ignorance of some long time DUers had as it related to the issue of blatant discrimination in public accommodations, housing and employment.

"They should sue!!!" "That guy is so fired!!!"
