It appears the war has started. Like me, millions of gays are tired of waiting for our turn to be treated as equals. We had real hope till recently as I mentioned yesterday.
Today the seriousness of this begins to show.

Please call Barney, Tammy and Jared and politely ask them WTF? It's been 5 days and none of them have said anything about this travesty, let alone why they're hosting the inopportune fundraiser - literally asking you to give Obama and the Democrats your good money after they've abandoned us - no - knifed us. It's clear to me that the White House asked them not to say anything, perhaps promising something in return. And before anyone just assumes that Obama privately promised them to move forward on gay rights, the president could have just as easily promised them a new highway in their state or to do a fundraiser for their re-election, provided they shut up. Their silence is looking very bad. Please call them and then report back to the comments with how the calls went.
