BuffyTheFundieSlayer's Journal
Now do you have the slightest clue how we LGBTs have been feeling--particularly for the past +/- four months ?

Every single election cycle we get told in one way or another to STFU lest we "lose the election" for the Dems. We get told that our issues are just not important enough, or are just too divisive, or whatever the excuse dujour is. And when we protest we get told to "get over it". Then there's, "you're a minority so we certainly can't cater to you" and the ever popular, "what are you going to do--vote Republican?".

And then there's that whole McClurkin et. al. mess. And we have been told repeatedly to "get over it". Should we tell black people to "get over" their complaints of racism?

Has anyone read any LGBT blogs lately? Does anybody care to? Or are we just a bunch of uppity queers who only become important when our votes are needed?

Maybe we should stay home from the polls.
