Can't help but notice that you have posted negative
comments regarding Neva Walker almost constantly in
the six months since she has taken office and yet I
have yet to hear anything from you regarding Linda
Berglin, who also represents your area. Senator
Berglin also votes correctly regarding GLBT issues, as
does Rep. Walker, but I haven't seen her take any
leadership role in your sodomy crusade either. Can't
help but wonder why there is a different standard.
The city council has far fewer opportunities to vote
on issues that specifically address only GLBT folks.
So Brian Herron probably hasn't amassed a significant
GLBT voting record on which to comment. But neither
does the Hennepin County Commission and I haven't seen
you mention Peter McLaughlin, who also represents your
area. When votes come up in either body affecting
domestic partners and GLBT health related funding, I
see them both voting correctly, but again, only Herron
earns your scorn.
Sorry if I offended, but I just thought there seemed
to be a pattern. And I'm sure some of your best
friends are black, like Peter Bell, but whether you
like it or not, by your constant harping on Herron and
Walker, you are representing yourself as having a
greater problem with your black representatives than
anyone else.
