Perhaps this is the death of innocence:
As I recall, The Stonewall DFL Chair facilitated the Sixth Ward Screening
event that lasted from 11:00 to 1:30 - surely no time for socializing with
those quietly reposed City Council incumbents taking the air elsewhere while
that two-and-a-half hour scramble was in progress.
And who can believe that the Stonewall DFLers, including staffers from the
mayor's office, a sprinkling of present and former state-level party
officers (whose meeting this weekend in Northfield coincides with the public
meeting of the Stonewall DFL Board of Directors), and other old friends can
simply have functioned all on a par, going where their whimsy would take
them, flitting from ward screening event to ward screening event like lovely
butterflies, sipping here and there.
It is a grand thing that we queer folk have so much presence in the DFL and
in the governing bodies in our vicinity. Would that we could persuade our
DFL companions in arms that our priorities sometimes take precedence over
what threatens to become unquestioning, uncritical, perhaps unthinking
loyalty.
