| Being right, just, and moral does not win elections. Money, hard work, organization, and coalition-building win elections. The “No on Prop 8” group ran a poor campaign, with bad messaging, bad advertising, ineffective organization and a baffling focus on our own community. The “Yes on 8” campaign ran a brilliant campaign with simple, poll-tested messaging, an energized base, powerful fundraising and brilliantly effective outreach and organizing to communities all around the state. They almost deserved to win. |

The thing is, more and more Queers have decided that our DUE CIVIL RIGHTS are NOT something to “win”. This ain’t a game.
So until we ARE equal – EVERYONE ELSE will have to pay our federal taxes. I stopped in 2005.

HETEROS – file before April 15th! Thank you!
So you’re not driving on Federal highways, eating food that travels over them, flying on Federally-licensed aircraft, receiving Federally-licensed broadcasts, using Federally-subsidized gasoline or ethanol, and living outside the US so that you don’t have the protection of Federal armed forces. I sure do admire you for sticking up for your rights!
(I almost didn’t post this, but then I figured if this clown is so determined to sound ignorant and shallow, I’d let him. Surely no one will imagine that his shallowness would apply to the GLBT community as a whole.)
