2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)If you are not for FULL AND IMMEDIATE EQUALITY FOR ALL AMERICANS - YOU ARE A BIGOT [View all]
I know many will get all butt hurt over this, but it is the TRUTH - a truth that many on DU can't seem to handle.
PRESIDENT OBAMA does NOT support immediate and full equality for ALL AMERICANS.
That doesn't mean I won't vote for him - but I will not give him a pass on his lack of leadership on this.
I am told that calling people that do not support full and immediate equality for all Americans bigots is hurtful. Well, you know WHAT IS REALLY HURTFUL?
NOT BEING able to marry the man I love.
Knowing that I can be fired for being gay.
Not having my relationship deemed worthy of recogniztion by the Federal Government.
Being told I am an abomination - then having those people be honored by Obama.

Has he ever asked for forgiveness for those two incidents (not one - two separate incidents)?

Still, it's not surprising that some people haven't forgiven, since they haven't been asked.
