(15,438 posts)But the GeeGee Clan was able to hide three other posts of mine, attributing homophobia to me, which was a patently false accusation.
I've posted extensively on DU about my disappointment that Prop 8 appeared to go down in CA. I was devastated when it did because I not only fought to defeat Prop 8, standing at the street corners with my daughter and her gay and lesbian friends, holding up signs, gathering voters to convince them to vote against it, but also the fact that I come from the Netherlands, the first country in the world to legalize same-sex marriage, and I have a gay brother who is happily married to his husband for nearly a decade. There was no homophobia intended on my part. Not even close. I was referring to his initials since the "i" in the Netherlands is pronounced "ee". But that didn't matter to them.
Unfortunately, there are enough GeeGee fans who will label people whatever they want and then alert and get their posts hidden and THEN continue to respond to it while I can't respond back. Some even launched into personal attacks in blatant violation of the DU ToS, but that's forgiven because it's against someone who they don't agree with.
But thank you for your support, ucrdem. I really appreciate it. I've decided I'm going to put an ignore on all of them. I don't need to read their glorifying posts of the man who would rather see Republicans in Congress and the WH.
