This Ac> isn't a one way street, here. Are you really implying that referring to straight white men as straight white men is just as hurtful as referring to LGBTQ people as fags, pedos, & groomers? Really??!! Seriously??!! Ac> In case you didn't realize or care, we just got done mourning the heroes Ac> that have given their lives to protect "our" (that's OUR as in ALL OF US - Ac> See? No demonizing there either) freedoms. Did you bother supporting that, I'm alive, so obviously I didn't "make the ultimate sacrifice" for my country. I'm a veteran though, so don't you dare suggest I don't know what it takes to defend our freedoms. Were you assuming as a lesbian I couldn't be a veteran? We were in the military long before we were openly accepted there. We defended the freedoms of those that push the attitude that our rights should be taken, the same as every military member defended ALL of our freedoms, including the freedom of LGBTQ people to love those that we love. I get it, you're a "middle of the road, I don't support you, but I don't want you to be murdered" type of guy. Do you speak out against those that do think I should be murdered, though? If not, then you're part of the problem. --- þ Synchronet þ Raven of the Storm .
