Don't Take My Word For It
Over at another place, I defended Barack Obama against claims that he doesn't care about GBLT issues. I'll be the first to admit that my defense was based in large part on my distrust of Hillary Clinton's stance and record. I believe that 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' was a stupid compromise, and an affront to basic civil rights. For my effort, I was castigated as 'not knowing what gay people really think, or what their issues are'. Fair enough. I may not. My only take is that I believe that civil rights extend to all, and so I may have a blind spot concerning the GBLT community.
So I did find it interesting when a dKos diarist, who is a homosexual activist, took Hillary Clinton to task. Though I highly doubt that I have many (if any) gay readers, I invite you all to read this because it sounds a warning to any who would take Clintonian policies at face value, when the topic is civil rights vs. her ambition.
"Though I highly doubt that I have many (if any) gay readers,"
I'm a half gay reader. Does that count?
