I stand with you in this struggle, not because I support your cause, but because it is our struggle.

As a minority, I have seen and experienced bigotry. Not to the level many of you have, but I know what it looks like. I've seen how hateful the majority can be.

That being said, please be careful. I value the contributions and insights you make to the forum as fellow minorities.

1. Thank you, IJ.

Your support means more than you know, but here at DU and IRL. I stand with you as well.

To solidarity! :toast:

2. You know that you've completely outed yourself, don't you?

You're never going to be able to pretend to be a cynic again.

3. When the rights of our fellow human are denied

our own rights are in direct jeopardy. Successful oppression of gays would simply liberate the oppressors to direct their attention to their next target. Who's next?

Simple enlightened self interest should be enough to compel any reasonable person to adopt your stand. Well spoken, Jones.
