Getting fired from jobs or denied a job or gay bashed on a job for 236 years is not enough sacrifice?

Being denied the 1138 federal and state rights of marriage for 236 years is not sacrifice enough.

Children being gay bashed to suicide & adults gay bashed to death is not sacrificing enough?

Trans-national married couples being denied the right to live together for who knows how long is not sacrificing enough.

Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender Americans being denied the right to serve in the military and even with the repeal of Don’t Ask Just Kick Gay & Lesbian & Transgender American Heroes Out of the Military Replaced with Teabaggers, TheocRATs and Rapists transgender Americans will not be allowed to serve- they have not sacrificed enough?

As long as the belief is that we have not done enough to have human rights and constitutional rights – we are standing in the way of our own equality -not because we have not sacrificed enough – but because we have sacrificed too much already.

If you think the reason Don’t Ask Just Kick Gays Out of the Military was repealed was because 13 people chained themselves to a fence, you don’t know what really happened. What really happened was that the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender men and women who had been kicked out of the military swarmed the halls of Congress and lobbied for weeks to get that unconstitutional law repealed. They made the ultimate sacrifice on the battlefield in the illegal invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, and after they were kicked out for who they were and who they love they made the ULTIMATE sacrifice once again and did the real work of change – they talked to members of Congress – face-to-face.

We have sacrificed quite enough. Now it is time to DEMAND our rights face-to-face with the people who think we are not human beings entitled to human rights and not American citizens entitled to unalienable rights. The purpose of civil disobedience is to mobilize the base to further action and bring media attention to an issue, and then getting in the door of the halls of power to DEMAND rights. Martin Luther King stared with civil disobedience but that got him access to lawmakers. GetEqual never talked to lawmakers because they did not know that civil disobedience kicks down the door but then you have to make the ultimate sacrifice and walk through that kicked down door and talk to the decision makers. We have sacrificed enough.

For gays and lesbians in Maryland there is no limit to the cost – so long as only trans people pay it.
