I wish people would ask themselves how LGBT people have hurt their lives. The answer is never. Gays don't bother anyone. It's a GOP issue because they can't govern and have no policies except taking rights away from people and fostering hatred.

Considering the US fancies itself an empire, we are doomed to repeat the fate of all empires. Having everything and forsaking history as we place ourselves above the dire warnings of how empires end. From Rome to Nazi Germany, the lessons are never learned and the demonization of perceived lessors is just the beginning of the end. Funny how the bastardizing of our political system, rigged though it is, fails to interject change that could save it. The oldest Democratic Republic is fraying because no one is brave enough to update the Constitution or unwilling to ditch what isn't working. After marriage equality we should have known resting on our laurels would come back to haunt us. The celebrations drowned out the warnings to shore up the victory with laws to protect the marginalized among us. Recent polling revealed the drop of support that should have come with alarm klaxons. We have the blueprint of where the GOP are headed, where is our manifesto?
