I do agree that Arora will be toast. His muddled flip-flop will soon not be forgotten and I have a feeling we are for some more missteps from him. When one does not have a backbone, they rarely form one very quickly. Jill Carter is a little more safe. Her constituents will likely forget her little stunt and there are probably a good number of folks that agree with her.

O’Malley’s support for a referendum is disappointing. We all know what happens when a minority’s rights are put up for a vote. The polling is going in our favor but we all know it is who can deliver the votes.

Mr. Naff is spot-on about keeping Democrats accountable for their actions. I think last year, national Democrats started sensing a gay backlash i.e. withholding donations until legislative goals were met. That has subsided since we had the repeal of DADT — but I honestly think that a possible boycott motivated some in Congress to support repeal. Many of our allies in the legislature support us because it is right and they should be rewarded with support. from the community. The others should know, that they cannot piss on our leg and tell us it is raining.

Thank you for listening.

sounds like the antis have won- by getting the gay and trans communities at each others throats. Gay vs gay, gay vs trans trans vs trans

We all must hang together else we we surely hang separately.

Get off your high horse! And further, it is a racist assumption to assume that I am white. Typical, but not surprising.

I’m in league with the other transfolk opposing the bill! To once again throw us under the bus re: bathrooms, public access, etcetera puts the Ts back at the back of the bus again.

Wow. That’s slander from a coward with an “everybody knows” thrown in. I love that I scare White Gay Closeted Men like you. It’s flattering.

Okay – so you will be the kapo who hands out towels as you line us up for showers in the concentration camp. I got it; and everyone else does as well.

I’m flattered. As always, I prefer correct spellings. Also, Bill, come out from behind just Bill and I’d have a helluva lot more respect for your snark. Internet brave isn’t really useful.

Cathy – do you spell Kapo with a “K” or with a “C”? What spelling do you prefer for yourself?

Kevin, never have so few worked so hard. To attack the very people who have bled, some, year after year, fighting for these rights is just obtuse. If we lose, it will be for many reasons, some we don’t, yet, even understand. Your thoughtless trashing of those who have fought, only serves to divide, which is always how the right conquers. This is never and easy battle, but since November it has been ratcheted up to a war. “Friendly fire” injury is really the lowest of betrayals. Pull yourself together.
