Comments on: LGBT pride month — why the criticism? http://literarylens.org/2009/06/lgbt-pride-month-why-the-criticism/ Thu, 07 Oct 2010 14:08:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: MJ http://literarylens.org/2009/06/lgbt-pride-month-why-the-criticism/comment-page-1/#comment-894 MJ Sat, 06 Jun 2009 17:29:47 +0000 http://looking-in.net/?p=362#comment-894 I support gay marriage as much as the next liberal, but people need to calm the fuck down about it. Like you said, it isn't going to happen overnight and we finally have a President speaking of issues that were ignored the past 8 years. I think that is cause to celebrate rather than whine about what we still don't have. Not many people know about the Stonewall riots because they're too busy putting rainbows on their myspace and not taking their "passion for equality" to the streets. You want change? Fight for it.

I'm glad that you are able to realize that it takes time and that the fact that he is recognizing it is a good sign. Hopefully soon enough the LGBT community will have the same rights as anyone else.
