When an important issue comes up we, GLBT, roll up our sleeves and dig in to work. I believe this is a very GLBT trait - hard workers.
I am a veteran of many political boards, but have never been this involved in a GLBT board. I would like to compliment the management of GaySpeak.com for not being afraid of tough issues, but striving to keep things constructive.
It is easy for any of us to get emotional especially in a thread like this where it is sexual political verses spiritual. Just wanted to take a moment from the fever of this thread to say this is what communications and the Internet are supposed to be about. Kuddos! GaySpeak.com!
Yes! I have been a member of one political board since the 90s...I am in the middle of another religious discussion at another though it is cocoa puffs (Tebow praying). I am glad you started this discussion because I actually learned something....I havent changed my mind at all but I used to think there was no room at the table for anyone who was gay to defend our enemies (and they are our enemies...dont' kid yourself)..I have realized that I am wrong.
The one thing I tell the religious folks at one site when they bring up "you ask for tolerance"...ummm...do they think gay people have one single voice and that anytime a gay person says anything they speak for ALL of us?:biggrin: I simply state to them...do not believe your own bullshit. I never asked for tolerance...I am asking for equality under the law. You see...I have no tolerance for most of them BUT I would support equality under the law and free speech even for people I have no tolerance for so I personally have no interest in their "tolerance"...besides...it is bad manners to ask for something you are not willing to givemile:
