I can never support any candidate wholeheartedly that doesn't support gay marriage. That's all. [View All]

In the sixties, my viewpoint would get more attention. In the seventies when I was an adult, it got more media play. Since the erosion of the progressive positions of the Democratic Party's liberal positions in the late 70s and 80s, I expect to be chided and ridiculed. Fine.

But, I need our GLBT brothers and sisters to know, there is a hardcore and widespread resistance to bigotry and no, we won't change our minds. There is no way. And, we are in the ascendancy.

And anyone who says we have to get the White House back at any cost is both right and wrong. We do need the White House back and we will get it. But through-out this process, we don't stand down. Because standing down means allowing our country to slip back into outright bigotry and socially sanctioned abuse.

We can do better than that and we will do better than that.

I don't care, at bottom, who redresses these abuses. But redressed they must be. Period.

If that's too hot for Clinton or Obama, (and we all know it is), maybe we should mail them both potholders to enable them to do their fucking jobs as public servants.

For my dearest Andy, who would have no problem believing that I am pissing people off. And, for Thom who gave me poetry.
