102. Gay people are a part of that very same base.
And we have been alienated more so than this would do to heterosexuals.

We have been thrown under the bus by the leadership of this party, and in effect, by those who elected those officials.

We are continuously told to wait until we control the political arena, and then we will try to get you your rights. Meanwhile all of the rights we have fought for over the past few decades are being flushed down the toilet (look no further than michigan) because not enough liberals stood up to be counted in the fight for equality.

Maybe the idea of the inequality actually affecting them will wake people up, as it is they loose nothing while we loose our rights and freedoms every day. I'm not willing to "wait" until all of the hard won rights of the past decade are gone before liberals in general finally stand up and say Equality is Equality, not just Equality for those you like or approve of.
