- Thank you. At last someone finally comes out and says it. It is long
- past time that we stop blindly following this cause, candidate, or
- leader or another simply because he/she/it acknowledges our existence
- in some token way. People and organizations seeking the "gay vote" are
- frequently long on promises and very short on delivery.
-
- And I am damn sick of it. And I am more than annoyed at those who
- embrace a cause or candidate for little more than the perception that
- it is "gay OK".

- You bet. And it is time that we showed some of that pride and raised
- our standards for promise fulfilment. Perhaps we should go on the
- offensive and demonstrate that what the g/l/b community giveth, it can
- and will also taketh away.
