on top of the resistance mr. carter describes, way too many commenters on these news sites describe us as "sitting back and demanding rights without earning them", and wanting whatever straight people have that you don't".
it's like these commenters think gay civil protest and resentment has ony been around a few years -- which is probably the same amount of time the commenter has been aware of our issues.
too many commenters just sit back and demand gays either show more pain to earn equality or just disappear.
critics also jump on us if one gay in the pubic eye puts a foot wrong. they put us up to a higher standard, they make us jump through more hoops than anyone else. plus they want guarantees of gay parental perfection -- but not of straights -- to which they have no right. and their demands deliberately set us up to fail in their eyes.
oh, and since they see gays that look like themselves, they speak with viscious insensitivity without thinking twice.
how long will it take for bigots to understand that for all their interest in children, they're encouraging at the very least, child abuse?
Thank you.
