Reply #6: Have I told you

lately that I love you? Slim Whitman version complete with popping heads..............not yours.

I can't even begin to describe how painful this is to me as an ally, I can't imagine how it feels to be part of the group sustaining all the minimization of their feelings and their very lives.

What I do not understand is the rationalization. I know, I keep bringing it up but WTF? If I was an Obama supporter I would have dropped him flat but those who have not should at least be bitching up a storm trying to force the man to do the right thing and apologize. Don't you think? Instead we get hundreds of posts with his GLBT policies with the spitting, "SEEE? So there." He pandered and sold out an entire group of people who are discriminated against and have never been accepted in our society as equal citizens. Sometimes I just have to walk away. It is too sad that there is so little empathy or even an attempt to listen and understand here these days. I could not give one flying fuck if Obama wears angel wings, he needs to account for this. It may not bring him into good standing but it will at least look a little bit like he understands and cares.

If he stands for hope then who is getting to experience that hope? It sounds like it is limited to me.
