    Bravo! Through the lack of progress made by the so-called national G/L leaders and their organizations, we’re learning that a grass-roots, feet-on-the-ground self-motivated movement is what’s necessary to get our civil rights birthright recognized.

    Elected leaders fear most ANY peaceful, non-violent, non-desructive confrontation with the voters. They don’t know what to do. All their training has been about sucking up to big-dollar donors who want access for their private projects.

    Social war mongers are discomfited by peaceful actions.

    How did this silly “temper tantrum” inspire or encourage anyone to support us?

    QueerRising and GetEqual are our versions of the Tea Party. Everyone laughs at the TeaParty.

    Advocates of “direct action” or these publicity stunts NEED to provide some evidence that they are effective or even helpful.

    We NEED to get people to join us. We need to go from a weak minority to a strong majority. A majority that supports our full equality. These angry stunts don’t do that.
