my lover and i have been together for 30 years. we don’t care about being married,we both think it is a stupid institution,gay or straight. we want the same tax breaks and any other breaks that straight families want and get.

If that wasn’t from the heart I don’t know what is.  This not only shows strength of character but empathy as well. The gay community is not asking for anything “special”, they just want a fair shake. We are not all the same, so what.  What a boring world this would be if we were. 

I tend to deal with a lot of people who are “of the unradical conservative/christian bent”.  The thing I’ve noticed is their perception of gays is so totally off base.  They really believe the stereotypical personification of gays.  They think gay people are lying and just want attention.  Somehow they feel that gay people WANT to be ostracized by society, so they can cry about it.  I find it bizarre that they in fact believe this.  I try to walk them through the illogic of their argument.

One thing they always seem to understand though is this:  What if you were REQUIRED to be gay, can you imagine that?  Forced into cohabiting with someone your not attracted to so everyone else is OK with it. Would you do it?........I rest my case.

This comes as a real jolt because not only is Sanders a Republican, he is a developer frontman who is in deep to turn San Diego into a wall-to-wall condo carpet. First, he stole an election on a technicality from a Democratic environmentalist. Then, though the city is bankrupt, he won’t declare insolvency; a pension scam by his predecessor left the City employee pension fund in the red by hundreds of millions and he is doing nothing to fix it, like a typical GOP guy. He allowed developers to build a 180 foot building in the flight path of an airport against FFA regs. Now, Jerry is championing gay rights and making a nationwide name for himself. Don’t be fooled, Sanders is scum and if he didn’t have a gay daughter he would be on the record banning civil unions.
