The past few weeks so many of us--even those of us who are neutral on the issue or not union members, or are even critical of the bailout of the "Big Three"--have been rallying around the Autoworkers. We had thread after thread of support. It seemed endless at times, I didn't see one complaint about the number of redundant threads, the support.
Don't get me wrong: I support them too, and I made threads about this.
Nothing against the Autoworkers at all, but there was nothing like that kind of support for the GLBT community, not after the passage of Prop 8, and not now. I definitely am beginning to see the disparity.
This probably didn't deserve it's own thread, and I'm sorry for wasting bandwidth, but it just angers me a bit. But on the other hand, it's good to see this with my own eyes. I hope others recognize it too.
How many automotive union people have come to the defense of people victimized by Prop 8 or insulted now, yet again, by this selection by Obama.
ON EDIT:
I just remembered at least a few union people who were outspoken on this latest issue.
I'm sure there are a ton of great union people who are on the side of equality, but I didn't see anywhere near the number of "shut up" threads I saw today.
