Reply #61: All of that is counter balanced by the nasty energy of his ardents

and by his own anti marriage equality rhetoric, his use of religious terminologies to wrap bigoted modalities in the bloody shroud of the Christ. His employment of the some of the leading hate preachers in the nation as surrogate on his last primary, particularly the one who was infamous for his 700 Club declaration of war against us. Yes, he called for war upon us, he said we try to kill children, and that is why you straights had to go to war against us, gloves MUST come off, this is WAR.
So. Until Obama apologizes for or at least makes clear that he is not at war with us, as his chosen surrogate claimed, you can get ready to deal with harsh, cold facts.
When an entity declares war on another, they have to retract that, or it is still war. I WILL NOT allow my family to be attacked for the sake of some 'minister's' need to wage war on his neighbors.
Yesterday, DADT got repealed. Could have been the start of a whole new day, but instead, we got more war, attacks on Dan Choi 'for Obama' and it was the wrong day to start in attacking us. That was the sort of surprise attack that those at war will do. Those who will slander a man like Choi on a day like Repeal Day, they would do anything to us without caring.
Equal is equal. A bigot is a bigot. Equal is equal. Less than equal is a result of bigoted, prejudiced, superstitious idiocy. Bigoted idiots oppose equal rights, and no tile mitigates that fact.
Equal is equal. Not equal is not equal. Your straight community steals from us each tax day. Steals from us, because we are not equal. That is wrong, wrong, wrong.
The talk of war on us, the talk of us not being 'sanctified by God, that shit is unacceptable, and it is not mitigated by this list, not at all. You think you can verbally and legally abuse people and be forgiven for doing wee shit while continuing the abuse and both verbal and legal? Do you?
And in closing, those of you who take up the name and mantel of the President and then rip into Choi and other gay people do great harm to the goals of people like the OP, who are in fact trying to maybe make some forward steps. But to me, this post just works along with the others which slam and question. There were people posting that Choi should not be allowed back in the military. Others posting that no one should post about Choi. And all of that was done under a banner that says 'Barack Obama'.
The 'cake and eat it too' routine is old. Only equal is equal. Anything less is injustice, and King said an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
