Reply #67: United we stand or divided we fall

[Fleshdancer]

I can not in good conscience sideline any battle for equality. Yes there are hundreds of important issues to consider but there are always hundreds of important issues to consider. There were hundreds of issues to deal with when also fighting against slavery or giving women the right to vote. There was always the fear that supporting the equality battles in the past would amount to political suicide.

From my selfish perspective, thank goodness there were people around to not sideline the fight for women's rights. I owe so much to the Americans who put their political lives on the line in the short term so that my daughter and I (and my future great great great great granddaughters for that matter) can be a full participating member of society. The responsibility to continue this American spirit of progression is now in my hands and the decisions that I make today will benefit future generations. That alone makes it just as important (if not more) than any other issue we can list.
