LGBT are a small minority, and our enemies, such as the right-wing extremists and fundamentalist religious groups, outnumber us, hate us, and unfortunately, have a fondness for guns. They're waging a culture war against us, and whether we see ourselves as one group or not, the bigots see us that way. For that reason we must be unified against this very real danger. Family fights are expected and we'll often disagree about strategy and everything else. But let's always remember that we are all in this together. We all have a unique palette of strengths and talents. Some strengths and talents may be more useful in the current situation, while others may be more critical in another. It may never come to that here, but genocide against LGBT is not impossible, as proven by current events in Uganda, and past events in Nazi Germany, and if our very survival should ever be in danger in that way, we will need those few among us who, like dieter, have certain other special strengths and talents.

Well Jay makes obvious points and like him I am sick and tired of the weirdos on these boards who all they do is name call people who cannot agree with them, like Dieter and Mark and others. If anyone thinks they are a second class citizen, do you think such a person would ever succeed in anything in life or for others. And why do they nominate themselves as leaders of our "movement." Frankly I don't believe anybody is a second class citizen (except for Dieter, since he has no class). I disagree with Jay on some points, I think some gay couples do need some of those benefits (most granted by the private sector) and I am happy that he does not need a marriage license, but then again I do think that gay couples should be hold up to some form of accountability to each other and to society as a whole through the institution of SSM. A state recognition would, throwing out the entitlements, I think would ensure protection for said couple in case anything does happen.

Jill honey, you obviously haven't read many of my posts. I can be charming and delightful. Then again I've been told Hitler could be a charming host. Bad comparison. Honey you could try and help us all out by sharing more than 6 letter words and perhaps an enlightening, dare I say caustic remark just to keep things interesting!

Well, Jay from Tuscon and dieter, it seems that your bare-knuckled family fight did clear the air a little. But it IS a family fight; Jay IS one us even if, as d points out, his communication style caused confusion at times, e.g., to make his point that he's not a 2nd class citizen, Jay writes that he doesn't need his partner's benefits. He didn't say that gays shouldn't have the same partner benefits as heteros, but that's how it looked to some readers. Apparently, it took a knock-down brawl to elicit Jay's broader views on equality, which are genuinely supportive of gay rights. Had Jay made his controversial posts in that broader context all along they wouldn't have been so inflammatory, and he wouldn't have been mistaken for a troll. Of course, it's understandable that some readers would make that mistake because we do get a lot of those right-wing extremists trolling this site. Hopefully, those readers like dieter who objected to Jay's posts now see that they were mistaken.

Thanks Jill, you read much of what I write? I thought I was having passionate and effervescent posting with other adults who enjoyed the barb and jab of wit and anger at society...not to let you down...I'll add that your contributions are quite sparsely worded and devoid of interest and scintillating vocabulary, but I'm sure you're a fine person! Just Fine!

Actually Jay, the more I read your responses, the more i find bits that I can agree with. Maybe it's your delivery, not that either one of us really cares what the other thinks. I read these posts and comment because I live in a cultural wasteland and Gay Void. It's all I've got. I reside in a really backwoods rural area with literally 1 church for every 203 people. You just seem so uncompassionate. It's hard to imagine that someone with your education and fortunate surroundings could be as cold as you seem. I just get worked up and am obviously an emotive and frenetic poster. For what it's worth...my apologies for offending you. But you don't care right?

OMG, are deiter and d mental? All I ever see them post are attacks on others.
