Paying the same taxes for fewer rights

[realFedUp]

If I were in the LGBT community and also
a taxpayer; and one who joined the
armed services, for all the "perks", joining
the others who joined the armed services
enjoy, and had to obey "don't ask,
don't tell or lose those benefits,
I'd stop paying taxes.

We clearly lost most of our minds
9 years ago, but can't we use our
intelligence in the 21st century?

Everyone is created equal and thus,
government law protects and treats
everyone as an equal. Except it doesn't.
We don't.

I'd be real fed up with the status quo
if I were LGBT.
Think Iran protests. Long hot summer.
Corner your local Congresscritter at
the local July 4th BBQ. Tell him or her,
you want the same civil rights as other
citizens, an expansion of
medicare to cover everyone and the same
open right to serve this country with
courage, integrity and the same benefits
fellow soldiers get.

1. Thank you very much.

Obviously, some folks seem to think that those who are second-class citizens should just shut up and tow the line until the majority is ready to "give" us our birthrights.

I suspect the LGBT revolt will grow - and it should until the disgraceful heinous and anti-gay laws-based-on-fear-and-smear are removed from the future of this country.

The LGBT community deserves nothing less than their full citizenship.
