I hope we don't have to wait 15 or 20 years to make equal rights for GLBTQ a reality, but I think that things will be better by then. Gawd I hope so!Javahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377033663576614925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9822653.post-14796719597674815202009-11-06T14:56:00.874-05:002009-11-06T14:56:00.874-05:00I'm not going to mince words.

I think Jesse Ventura of all people said it best the other day.<br /><br />He said, "You can‘t take a civil rights issue and put it up to a vote.
