Thank you for writing that, Brad

Thank YOU for taking the time to read it!

It is a waste of time trying to deny civil rights once that door is opened. That is why I'm so insistent on these things.

Pass it on, repost or link back!

"Sitting idly by" is indeed the problem. I am glad you said this.

If the sum total of our involvement was sitting in our living rooms watching election returns, we are never going to get what we want. I don't know where we got the idea that inaction would produce any kind of results. It's laziness of the most dangerous kind.

Love this. Beautifully said.

Indeed - which is exactly why it is so important to help make this post go viral - it might reach all the right people with enough push behind it and that is how change is made.

*love*

I put this on **my** LJ and facebook. I may even print it for class today.

Again, thank you so much!

Woo. ♥ that icon. Can I snag it?

Straight guy with *far* too many friends-and-more who are anything *but* straight to just sit quietly. The whole point of government is to not *have* to win the popularity contest *every* *fucking* YEAR... and frankly the so-and-so we just voted in to *solve* this problem is proving to be not much better than his predecessor. I'm sick and tired, mad as hell, and desperately in search of a way to not have to take it anymore!

(FWIW, we won here in WA but not by enough and the bastards have said they'll be back already. NOT ON MY WATCH.)

Turning marriage into an instrument of 2nd-class citizenry in a nation like America does more damage to both than all the fudge-packing and carpet-munching in the world.

Agreed.
