Nobody here has done that, and it's a lie to suggest otherwise. BM) I've already seen embarrassing episodes with white suburban guys lecturing black Oaklanders about how life is for racial minorities, and how their concerns are "ridiculous" or "out of context" too.

BM) The white straight guys telling the queers, blacks and women how they don't know anything about their issues (BM This alleged "telling" hasn't happened here, and it's yet another lie to suggest otherwise. BM) Gay voters are policy-driven people, not platitude-driven. As a result, most LGBTQ groups across the political spectrum measure candidates in concrete policy declarations, as real benchmarks of a candidate's willingness to stand on the issues. Ron Paul has not done well in this regard, plain and simple. (BM I have no problem with Outright rating Paul on what he says or won't say he'll repeal. My problem is with the ludicrous inference that his disagreements with you on constitutionalism and centralism make him a "homophobic bigot". That's just silly, and your patent inability to distinguish between real and imagined homophobia completely undermines your sweeping claims to "expertise" on gay issues. If you can bring Anthony Gregory and and me together on this, that shows just how far around the bend you've gone.
