I included a link to Cannick. But then I took another look at it, and it enraged me so much because her whole argument is bullshit,I replaced it with something else.<BR/>And the insensitivity of it is mindboggling. To be saying those things when gay people are so hurt and disappointed just shows what kind of person she is....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-12225130346715528482008-11-09T20:47:00.000-05:002008-11-09T20:47:00.000-05:00hi anonymous...you're right.

Gay people have a history, a culture and a shared experience of suffering at the hands of bigots...and that's more than enough. Why do people go out of their way to make life harder for others?

Because it is a raging discussion and it deserves a post by itself.<BR/>In the meantime I'm not suggesting that black people were responsible for scuttling gay marriage. And I would resist any attempt to scapegoat them. But the fact is other polls before the election have shown that blacks were heavily against gay marriage, so the CNN poll is a bit of a red herring. Black homophobia IS a real problem, and it's killing black people as well. As I pointed out in my last post on the subject the real culprits are the homophobic black churches who have been fighting us for years. As well as the Mormon Church that bankrolled the operation.I'll try to write something thoughtful when the anger settles a bit. But it'll be a while. All I can say right now is that I still find the spectacle of one oppressed group oppressing another simply appalling. And we're the ones who had our rights taken away from us.<BR/>So we want be saying sorry to ANYONE.Just fighting for our stolen rights as hard as we can....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-75112302040706735752008-11-07T23:18:00.000-05:002008-11-07T23:18:00.000-05:00Hi Ur Merit...yeah that was like hearing one messa...Hi Ur Merit...yeah that was like hearing one message in each ear.
