Stone Wall Democrats

I have been doing a little reading on the Stone Wall Democrats joining the Human Rights Campaign by not attending Democractic Fundraisers and that the health care issues, and taxes affect the LGBT community. Really people wake up. Health care issues and tax increases effect us as a whole as American Citizens not just one segement. This goes back to the LGBT Community Leaders that are saying President Obama is not holding up to his election promises to our community.

Didnt we just see a new hate crime legislation go thru the house and will be approved by the Senate after 10 years of fighting? Doesnt President and Obama support Civil Unions and that Marriage should be left up to the states? I mean arent we seeing a sweeping change with a few states legalizing Gay Marriage? Didnt this all happen this year?

This all goes back to American greed. We want what we want and we want it right now! I am a very proud member of the LGBT community but I also dont agree with everything our leaders are speaking out for. People really need to think back on when they made a certain promise to someone to do something but it was absoultely out of their control to do. All of us have done it. So is it right to criticize this administration becuase they are not able to pass or change things over night? I mean really we have gotten a lot from this administration that we havent gotten before. Also didnt this administration just allow Federal benefits to same sex couples?

The LGBT political leaders are forcing us to write to our congress people and demand more and more and more. Do we really want to sound like we are ungrateful for what has happened so far? Open your eyes and start thinking with some common sense. Be grateful for what has happened so far. Do we need to continue our fight? YES BY ALL MEANS LETS CONTINUE TO MARCH, LETS CONTINUE TO PROTEST. Dont allow our voices to be silent again. Lets fight against the conversatism right wing religious groups, but lets not classify religion as the enemy. Not all religious factions are against us. I also am a christian and have fellow christian friends with my views that are straight so its not religion we need to be fighting but the Right Wing Faction of it.

The LGBT community along with other minorities are fighting against hate. Lets not start fighting hate with more hate. Also lets remember we are fighting two wars right now. Lets not be taking away our goverments time about domestic issues away from that untill those men and woman are back home safely in this country.

As for the Dont Ask Dont Tell Law in our millitary. I really do think that needs to be reveresed and very soon. There is no way of knowing the great number of how many Gays and Lesbians are fighting in our armed services but I am here to tell you I can almost bet you its more then 15 percent! It is a great disservice to them for them not to be able to be who they are but they can die to protect yours and my freedoms. Its just plain out wrong!!!!
