You know..as a Hetero...I have to Applaude the Gay Community for Truth Speak!
Edited on Fri Nov-03-06 06:12 PM by KoKo01
On the Right and Left they've worked to root out the Hypocracy.

I might not always agree with you! that SAID...but I applaud your COURAGE!!!!

And...Aravosis is a hero of mine along with many writers throughout the centuries!

Anyway...TRUTH TO POWER!

We Hetero's can work it out with you if we get Dem or Other Coalition in the Senate and House.

Crossing the Boundaries...so we can get a "dialog" going is the most important. :shrug:

2. Yeah...I know some are "Suspicious" of my posts...because one was
"locked" last night.... Whatever...get over it...I'm working for what you all are working for..but...as i said..I have a little differences that could be "worked out." :shrug: I supported the "Women's Movement" with some "little differences" and there are MANY OF US OUT THERE LOOKING FOR DIALOG...

Don't Shut the DOOR ON US...PLEASE!

4. Nominating for
1. Worst thread title today
2. Most clumsily expressed effusion of support
3. Best allowed to drop into oblivion

5. Why do you feel that way about my post?
How could I have made it better to express what I was trying to say? :shrug:

Why would you attack me like this? Without giving guidance?

7. Not attacking YOU, dearest Koko01

:loveya: But what you've written here made me cringe.

Let me do a bit of substitution and I'm certain you'll see it:

You know..as a White person...I have to Applaud the Black Community for Truth Speak! 1.

On the Right and Left they've worked to root out the Hypocrisy. 2.

I might not always agree with you! that SAID...but I applaud your COURAGE!!!! 3.

And...Maya Angelou is a hero of mine along with many writers throughout the centuries!4.

Anyway...TRUTH TO POWER!

We Whites 5. can work it out with you if we 6. get Dem or Other Coalition in the Senate and House.

Crossing the Boundaries 7. ...so we can get a "dialog" going is the most important. :shrug:


1. Why is your orientation germane? The "gay community" is not a monolith.

2. The dreaded "they." Again, NOT a monolith. x(

3. Gobbledegook. WHO is it you may not agree with? Of what courage do you speak? That Jones feller? He sure went for the Medusa, eh? ;-)

4. Token reference x(

5. "We Heteros" are ALSO not a monolith, particulary on THIS board and I strenuously object to the allusion that there is anything to "work out" that begins with politics. First and foremost it's about acceptance of family, friends and community members.

6. Who is "we" and who is "them" at this point? :shrug:

7. What specifically are these "boundaries" you speak of? What is this "dialog" you propose? Is it not already well underway?

It's late, I'm tired and testy. Don't get too worked up over this. :hug:

8. Can we begin here:

Quote from you that I could try to begin with:

"First and foremost it's about acceptance of family, friends and community members."

13. I don't think there's a thing wrong with it.
I think it's great to commend a community.
