Please remember, we're allowed to start asking for equality again tomorrow.

[Prism]

It will officially be "after the election" and I've been promised all our allies will be 100% for us at that point.

Who else is excited? I'm excited. I bought special asking shoes.

With permission, of course.

[Orrex]

1. I don't see why you can't be happy with just a little equality

Not real equality, mind you. But everybody loves to pretend, after all.

[WillParkinson]

2. Surely you jest?

2012 elections are coming up. We need to make sure that we don't have President Palin.

[vi5]

3. No! We need to stay unified for 2012.

You don't want President Palin, do you? WELL? DOOOOOO YOU?!?!?! And you know that anything other than 100% support of all dems and their wonderfully centrist, bipartisan, compromise filled agenda is pretty much a vote for President Palin.

[stray cat]

4. Did somebody forbid you specifically not to ask for equal rights

Or is it melodrama ie did someone say you would not be better of with the GOP?

[Prism]

5. Oh, just the usual "Can't you wait til after the election?!"

It happens every two years, like a pack of Democratic groundhogs.

But it's ok, because tomorrow the election will be over, and then no one will stand in our way.

Except those people over there. They're holding plates. And bridles. The hell . . ?

[terrya]

6. I've been around here long enough to see that time and time again.

People around here will say "I support gay rights". And...that's it. It's the fierce advocacy of whenever. The committed goal of someday. The demand of eventually. "You'll get your equality. Just wait for it"

I'm 54 years old, and forgive me for being a bit selfish, if we follow the DU brand of activism for GLBT equality, I'll see equality when I'm 172 years old.

[vi5]

9. But then it will be the election of 2128!

We need to stay unified. Please don't try and rush things. Be patient. By then equality will be right around the corner, trust us. You don't want Bristol Palin's grandson to be president, do you?!?!

[QC]

11. Some support equality in the same way that they want to save the whales,

shut down the nukes, support kindness to cute fluffy bunnies, etc. In other words, casual lip service to a vague list of liberal priorities involving no effort or sacrifice.

[donco6]

7. Yeah, it's melodrama, stray.

We perform just for you. You're always such a reliable audience.

[racaulk]

12. Why do your contributions to this forum consist only of inflammatory hit-and-run posts?

Are you interested in actually discussing anything?

God damn, you're tiresome.

[QC]

13. That's all it ever posts in any forum.

Between the nonstop disruptive behavior and the unmistakable animus toward LGBT people and the hidden profile and the constant stream of right wing talking points, one would think that the gatekeepers might get at east a little bit suspicious, but it hasn't happened yet.

[donco6]

15. It only exists to needle us.

And golly - it's been around for years.

[Smashcut]

22. Oh look

The stray elephant is back.

[QC]

36. It loves poking its trunk into our business. n/t

[pgodbold]

8. LOVE the snark. A great smile with my first coffee of the day. TY nt

[racaulk]

10. If you bring up gay rights today, then you want Boehner to be Speaker of the House!

At least that's what I've read in GDP.

:crazy:

[joeybee12]

14. I'm already cleaning out the stall for my new pony!!!!!

:evilgrin:

[Behind the Aegis]

20. LMSGAO!

{laughing my sweet gay ass off)

:rofl:

[K8-EEE]

16. If the Dems are like pushing a 2 ton locomotive into gay rights

At least they're on the track -- the Repukes have all their brakes permanently set, there will be not an inch of progress with them. Vote Dem and then give them hell!

[WillParkinson]

26. Yeah, there's a problem with that...

Every time we give them hell (especially here) we're told 'you would rather have (fill in the Republican blank'?

It seems that we're great as long as we kiss butt and write checks, but other than that we're selfish for wanting equality, we're one-issue voters who can't see the big picture, or whatever reason they have to disrespect us this time.

[ThomCat]

27. Yup. WE keep putting the train back on the track and straight dems

keep derailing it again, all in the name of being "practical" of course.

It's just not the right time.

Or we're just moving too fast.

Or we're doing things the wrong way and offending too many straight "allies". (of course they are) And of course that means straight people need to tell us the right way, because they're so much smarter than we are.

There's always some damned excuse, and I'm sure I'm not the only one sick of hearing them. :grr:

[queerart]

17. Special Asking Shoes......

That is way funny........

[Duncan Grant]

18. Alas, I have alienated all my allies!

I asked them to think. :cry:

[foxfeet]

19. My special asking shoes are being re-soled.

Can I wear stilettos instead?

[marginlized]

21. Special Asking Shoes?

Do they have metal cleats on the soles and make loud sounds, the better to be heard?
Are they like clipless cycling shoes that lock onto a pedal to enhance one's tenacious push and pull?
Do they come with high tops to avoid the BS?
Or thick textured soles to ease your climb?

Just asking.

[TriMera]

23. Are they comfortable? n/t

[MuseRider]

25. I was thinking

I might try Ruby Slippers. E-N-D-A NOW! E-N-D-A NOW!

*might work best here in the Kansas Legislature, the Keds were not bad but these, although they will probably kill my feet, might work better.

[ThomCat]

28. Sweet!

:applause:

:*

[NMMNG]

24. Special asking shoes?

Don't you mean Special Asking Kneepads?

[mitchtv]

29. oops, now I have nothing to post

my aching knees

[NMMNG]

30. Not to mention

our aching backsides.

[Jamastiene]

31. Too bad it is a one day only sale.

Day after tomorrow, they'll be blaming us for the losses. Oh, wait, that's right Bayh has already blamed us. They won't even wait that long to follow his lead.

[Evasporque]

32. I am releasing my rainbow farting Unicorn...

Shes been chained up in the backyard...until after the election.

[QC]

33. My new asking shoes!

[NMMNG]

34. Oooh, sparkly!

And I see they have the requisite FM heels.

[QC]

35. Those heels are good for stompin'. n/t

[QC]

37. Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
