Did he call me a brain dead leftist? Why that good for nothing… putrefied cheeseburger.

However, you and others keep harping on the LBGT community like they were behind fence lines pre-Stone Wall. Furthest from the truth. They have equal rights as anyone as they should. Believe it and stop believing they are an oppressed group. They aren’t. I have no qualms with this community but please stop believing they are some deprived group.

Ha! I like the putrefied cheeseburger line.

Yet au contraire, mon frere, while the LBGT community as a whole thankfully enjoys more civil rights protections federally and in some States, there remain many States (looking at you, Florida and Tejas) that remain antagonistic to the liberties and dignities of their LBGT population. As for transgender people specifically, they are clearly an oppressed portion of the population, and I am hard pressed to think of a more beleaguered, brave and misunderstood group.

Absolutely agree, and I live in California the "Left Coast," and while "straight" myself have many beautiful and wonderful friends that are LGBT and Q who tread softly in public for good reason.

Thank you, Robert!

I think we are two birds of a feather, straight white Californian men whose perspective is exactly as you state. I myself have probably too much love for the distaff side, but I'll leave further details for the memoirs.
