We're not the problem

[MrScorpio]

Whether we're gay, straight, progressive, radical, moderate, liberal, black, white, tan, pink, brown, yellow, male, female, young, old, blind, deaf, crippled, crazy, silly, serious, angry, mellow, north, south, east, west, abroad, hip hopper, be bopper, line dancer, hard rocker, married, single, divorced, widowed, broke, rich, drunk, high, sober or a dingbat...

We're not the problem.

The problem is half the population of this country who had been manipulated by a group of evil people who have usurped our democracy in order to install one party rule.

They are the problem.

Don't blame your fellow DUer in good standing.

By all means, out the freeper trolls, but stand next to your fellow DUer even though you may disagree with him or her.

That's our strength... Our diversity.

Please cherish it and not disdain it.

Good Night.

1. We have lost diveristy here.

[MrScorpio]

3. No we haven't

Some of us are angry and lashing out at those who are closest to us.

It's only natural.

You know who you are, and we know who you are... You're one of us.

Together we stand, divided we fall.

[freetobegay]

5. Apparently you missed all the Gay bashing threads.

[MrScorpio]

6. No I haven't

I know that they were mean and vicious. And even uncalled for.

But, I'm telling you as a pissed off straight guy to raise your chin and stay true to yourself.

This anger was never here before, and mark my words, once all the trolls are put in their place it won't be here again.

Defend yourself.

But expect the anger to eventually subside.

No true progressive would reject gays as soon as they would reject the poor and disenfranchised.

[freetobegay]

10. Then we don't have true progressives here.

17. i know its hard

but trust me, there are a lot of us that dont even come close to buying that that abandonment shit. You're not along

14. It's All A Rovian Trick...

...to divide us as well as unite our opposition.
We mustn't fall for it.

We didn't lose this election because of gay marriage.

We lost it because of electoral fraud!

Those few that do must be helped to see what is going on.

7. i hope the hell not diversity is the glue

Watch how these foolish dupes are going to fall apart,it can't be us,we offer rights not take them away.Soon they will be bickering about who's interpretation of the bible is better,who is more fearfull.......I'm scared but i can't stop being who or what i am just because they don't know who they are.

8. It seems that way.

I am so pissed at the people who just want to dump gay rights.

Jesus, I fucking lost my temper just now in the Fighting and Acrimony forum, telling the DU homophobes exactly how to fuck themselves with broken tubes of fluorescent lighting.

That is SO not me. I only do this when I'm on my last legs and faltering. God, I'm about to have a breakdown. :(

[freetobegay]

9. From me to you

:hug:

[Ladyhawk]

12. Thanks.

I hope I didn't go overboard, but my heart is breaking for you and the other gay people here at DU. Scapegoating and fingerpointing...it makes me physically ill. I want to be in whatever party you're in.

[rawtribe]

2. Thank You!

[bettyellen]

4. KEEP ON DOIN IT, BABY KEEP ON.......

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

11. I have never seen such posts here. The anger is displaced

resentment about the election, of that I am sure.

Things will settle down.

[Bunny]

18. You may be right, but the problem is that once things get said,

they are very difficult to un-say. Those people who are calling for us to quit pushing for gay rights and women's rights are just wrong, I don't care how pissed off they are.

And their names have been noted in the house. I won't forget who they are.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

20. Oh, no. I don't mean to defend such stupidity, just to mitigate its

deleterious effects, if I can.

By all means, push on. I am with you all. There are no rights until all have rights!

[VivaKerry]

13. that half of the nation who were fed all the tripe and bought it?

They were told what they WANTED to hear. They are as evil as the thugs who fed them the propaganda. IMO. I am disgusted with this country.

[AndyTiedye]

15. They Are Not Evil, Just Brainwashed

[Abelman]

16. Who do I blame?

I blame myself. It is selfish and egotistical. But I still blame myself.

[jukes]

19. wholeheartedly agree!

i'm far to the left of many, but stand by ANY1 that isn't a fundy, conservative, or fiscal repub.

or those crazy libertarians.
