- When I saw this statement posted, I interpreted it as meaning
- "business as usual," rather than "discrimination against queers."

-
- Tell it to them, then. There's nothing like directing your comments
- at the people who deserve them.

-
- That's right. People have this awful tendency to generalize, don't
- they?

- I think, frankly, that you need to read a little bit more about gay
- liberation before you can discuss it in an informed way.

-
- That no person of non-heterosexual orientation may possess a legal
- claim of discrimination on that basis in Colorado. That there shall
- be no laws against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.

-
- That's because you have the political savvy of a five-year old.
- You're not interested in supporting anything that's right if your
- precious pride is wounded by the people who support it.
