I just checked my e-mails since Nov,2 & I have one from John Kerry explaining why the fight is over. I love this man & what he stands for! Senator Kerry you will always be right with me! :cry:

2. I'm with you...

And I mean that. I keep seeing these posts about abandoning the "gay issue" so we can win the middle. Let me say this to you: I refuse to abandon my gay friends and colleagues. The party some people are advocating is not the party Kerry fought for. I'm getting ill.

4. Thanks you don't know how much I needed to hear that.

5. That is not what people are saying here. People are not talking about

"abandoning" gays. Just advocating a smarter way to fight for gays as President Clinton was doing if the story is true about his encouraging of Kerry to back the state ballot against gay marriage. It worked for Blanche Lincoln who said she was backing the measure in Ark, but that we did not need a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. She was reelected in a southern state against her opponent who backed the constitutional amendment. If Kerry had taken Clinton's advice it would have helped Kerry get elected and IT WOULD HAVE STOPPED THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO BAN GAY MARRIAGE. I said back when the Mass court made their decision that they just gave Karl Rove and Bush a wonderful wedge issue-I got called all kinds of nasty names - but you know what I was right. BTW, Some of these amendments do away with domestic partnerships that some cities offered to gay employees. These people in states like Mass, and Kerry himself never realize the adverse effect doing the right thing at the wrong time can have on people. Sometimes some people on these boards are more simplistic than these "Christan Conservatives" in their thinking. Can anyone tell me with a straight face that gays were worse off after Clinton was President? Gay men were dropping like flies during Reagan and Bush 1, who sat back and did nothing... I know I was there in the 80s and I saw it- Damn it!

6. he can't do that when there are gay kids coming up to him

and telling him all about their personal experiences and looking to him to help them with a promise and hope for better future for them.

7. Huh - who can't do what ?? Don't understand?? He who?? Who in my

post are you talking about.

[Prodemsouth]

8. If you are talking about Kerry, he and the Mass court just made things

worse for gays by their decisions. The court helped unleash the ballot measures, which helped turn out the Bush vote. And Kerry can't do a damn thing now. Sorry
