1.  Every civil rights movement has been blamed for the backlash of the radical right. But the movements have kept up the fight, and they have won. So, on total rights for the LGBT community, it is no longer a matter of if, but a matter of when. I expected the degree of their resistance to match the degree of our insistence

 

2.  The next four years will be hell for Bush.  After Nixon was reelected, the resistance to his policies escalated enormously. This will happen now.  From the anti-war movement, to the pro-stem cell movement, to the pro choice movement, to the pro environmental movement, to the LGBT movement, people will be in the streets. Today is not a day to agonize, it is a day to mobilize.

 

3.  If 'moral issues' to the radical right means that they can mortgage the future of their children, destroy the environment, stop medical research that will cure disease, kill soldiers due to ineffective, inefficient equipment, if all of this is less important

then lesbians and gays being able to marry, then shame on them.
