53. Eloquently Written, Bravo MN Citizen

I've been on several threads trying to say the same thing about Obama and his aggregious slap in the face to the gay community.

You said is so eloquently, and for this I'm grateful.

When people realize that fundamentalist christians are 5% of the population, gay people 20% and the gay people can swing any election we won't have to beg.

for now the election fraud of the bush era has set everyone thinking the scary religious right wing authoritarian christians (Folks like Fuckabee) are not only the kind we gay folk get very nervous about, but when he seems ok stating that a quarantine on AIDS patients is OK, i can only imagine where that quarantine might be (few cells down in guantanamo no doubt).

Having had a 7 year old black boy that was a preacher's kid preach to me that lesbianism is comparable to crack cocaine, I am not on the mood to UNITE intolerant church goers.

As a future senate campaign person, I can run as an openly gay person, court the church goers and not once have to cowtow or bow down to folks who hate or disapprove of gays and I still know I can win.

someone needs to tell obama he can still win without the 5% evangelicals that are out voting for huckabee anyway!
