I listened to Rachel Madow’s replays of Obama’s LGBT message yesterday. While sad and disappointed I am hopeful. I once heard someone say, “half measures avail us of nothing..” or something like that. That is how I feel about this token change by giving limited Federal benefits to LGBT.
As I continue to receive letters from the Democratic party and my Senators and Move On Org, et al, asking for donations and my support of a myriad of issues, I have decided that no one , and no issues (except LGBT) will get any support from me until I am treated with dignity by being given equality under the law of my Country. I am asking for nothing more, nor anything special, only equality in every respect for me, my spouse and my children.
The fact that there are laws that EXCLUDE a group is apartheid. It occurs in the USA through DOMA, the Defense of marriage Act, DADT, don’t ask dont tell; and PROP 8. At no time should a legislature take away inherent rights, and at the very least fail in some way to compensate, by special legislation in return. This ought to be a priority and until it is, I ask you all not to send me any letters or requests for support about anything except about MY RIGHTS and the validation of my wife and our beautiful children.

PoochParkWear customizes hoodies and t-shirts, the good, the naughty, the in between, whether proud or quirky let them be seen. We also offer biker jackets, croc or pleather collars, a variety of collar charms, and our special Zinja beaded collars made by a co-op of HIV-positive South African women, the Sisonke women who weave the beads onto the collars.
I totally agree with you.
Agreed.
