(3,310 posts)Maybe I'm old and just a tiny bit embittered by a lifetime of fighting liars. I want to see some action. Y'know, like volunteer at a food bank that serves the LGBT community. Get involved in local politics and really lobby for change. Do some fundraising for hospice.
Hell, even go to the hospital and visit some HIV patients. Doesn't matter who they are; just stop by to leave a positive vibe. A smile, a hello, a handsqueeze means so very much to someone who may have nothing or no one else.
I'm not asking for anyone to nail themselves to the cross. Just do something quietly. Don't do a day's worth and then come back to DU crowing about it. (That's just tacky.)
Am I asking too much? I don't know. But the pain those words in the OP cause by factless bigots hurt deep.
I'll work on my anger. I have to trust others to work on their own issues. If they don't, well...
