Last article I read said McGehee was now only working part-time for GetEQUAL, so no one is earning any $100,000 salary. They only have 5 employees. Quit trying to mislead people SpamdrewW.

And you continually talk about “conversations” the community needs to have with the general public. So – what – do you think these activists only get arrested, and NEVER have conversations with people? I’m sure they can walk and chew gum at the same time and these conversations happen just as much as you’d like them to.

I think we’re all over your manic need to cut and paste your same post on any GetEQUAL article SpamdrewW.

GetEqual is simply trying to drag this out and get as much attention as they can. They use these stunts to raise money, that’s all. None of their “crazy shenanigans” change any minds or votes – they are just about trying to raise money.

Thankfully, the LGBT community understands that these stunts are self-serving ($100,000 salaries) and they have NOT donated to GetEqual. This is clear evidence that we do not support childish confrontation and understand that changing minds and votes requires some real work: conversation.

We need to educate, enlighten and enroll support for our full equality. Publicity stunts don’t do that – conversation does.
