Comment on Another reason to scrape that blue equal sign sticker off your bumper by Preston

Okay, so I get what you’re against, sort of, but I’m a little confused. I suppose the name “angry brown butch” should’ve set me up enough to expect what I read, no offense intended. What I don’t get is what you stand -for-. You say, “I’m not an opponent of gay marriage, but I also don’t think it’s the most important issue facing the wider queer and trans communities” so what are the more important issues?

I have a friend who works for HRC, she’s a lesbian, and she’s my friend and so I’m obligated not to be bigoted about what she does and what she cares about, in fact I try and be like that even with people I don’t know. But what has confused me about her for the last year is that she doesn’t seem to care at all about the numerous women’s rights issues and equal rights for women business that’s been going on for decades before HRC even existed. And she doesn’t seem to care that HRC doesn’t really care about women’s rights.

So I understand, a little, about where you’re coming from. I think HRC is being a little disingenuous by calling themselves -Human- Rights Campaign. I would probably like them more if they were called GLBT Rights Campaign.

Your post was published in 2006, but it was the first thing that popped up when I googled “HRC sticker”, one of which I am going to buy, not to put on my car, though, because I don’t own one. I ride a bike because I’m a hipster that’s going to force my kids to be vegans, that is if I don’t abort them first, like the crazy left-wing gaywad, I am.

lol, jk

Comment on Another stupid argument against marriage equality – and adoption? by Xeginy

Those “what about the children” arguments I hear against same-sex marriage are always the worst, and most of them (as you pointed out) don’t even make logical sense.

It is transparent these days, the rich will only support one another and we are no longer in any of their priorities, not even as tokens. Thanks for this post, welcome back!

Comment on Who are the Young Lords? by Miss Sharon

Racism goes both ways. To refer to a group as “some white guys” is a step backward. If they were black, would you call them “some black guys”? Neither is fair and involves prejudgement based on skin color.
Right Kelly, because white people (esp straight men!) face so many hurdles,violence and are marginlized. It reminds me of when mens rights advocates whine that men are oppressed too: Ah no.
I suggest you read Tim Wise on this subject, and then some poc blogs.
(I’m white btw)
