Hats off to Plaid Adder!
In case you haven't read her "one-off" column on the home page, please do so.......it's spot on......

The plaidder also raises a point I tried to make some time ago but says it much better:

Right now, they are doing it to us, because they figure they can get away with it. But my straight brethren and sistren, I urge you to pay attention, because we are the canary in the coal mine. The crackdown on tolerance and diversity hits us first, because it is still socially acceptable for people who aren't Trent Lott to demonize us and discriminate against us. But remember, the We Are Family video is not about us.

The Bush** administration assault against the GLBT community should be of conscern to us all and we should not take it lightly....

1. There is a Poem About That!
I don't remember it exactly, but it says that when they came for the Jews, since I wasn't Jewish I didn't object. It goes on to Gypsys, Intellectuals, Homosexuals (remember, this poem was written a long time ago) and every time it says "since I wasn't _____, I didn't object".

It ends with "When they came for me, there was nobody left to object!"

This is serious, and my wife and I, Heterosexual Roman Catholics, WILL NOT BE SILENCED.

As I've said before, there is no DUer whose opinions my wife and I respect more than the Plaid Adder's!
