In reply to the discussion: Homophobes Have Invented a Scary New Tactic to Undo Equal Rights [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)it was with us until just recently. Signed into law by a Democrat muttering about compromise. Additionally, each day on DU we see threads celebrating Pope Francis, a big hero to the Elizabeth Warren right. 'He is our mentor, he should be President' they chirp. He says equal treatment for gay people is Satan's idea. Every day on DU, Democrats praise him, and attack LGBT people for objecting to his hate speech. Every day.
So sure, most Democrats are not as bad as most Republicans, but being slightly better than a full tilt bigot is not really a feather in one's cap to brag about. It's just not. Obama was inaugurated with Rick Warren at his side, days after Warren had attacked us with vicious hate speech, such evangelicals attacking us was a regular feature of the Obama campaign and no one has offered any apology, not the Party, not the President. We get tight lipped and strained words of support which may or may not be true because they are so weakly spoken by men and women who have also sworn the opposite and claimed the opposed our rights because of Goddy Godsox and his Book of Rules.
When there is a nominee for President that has never trash talked gay people, I'll stamp that ticket you are currently claiming. In the meantime stop sending yourself flowers.
