Signed: Thursday, October 22, 2009

This is the 100-things list that Obama's done that's close to your point of view?



You have to be doing some real fancy 'convenient rationalizing' to be putting the Matthew Shepard Act on your list after Obama's shameful behavior on DADT & DOMA.



As a staunch (rabid) defender of gays and proponent for the advancement of gay rights' issues (all people's civil rights actually), I have to tell you that not all of us are on the same page about hate crimes legislation (the creation of laws and a special class of crimes against one group of Americans actually increasing discrimination and violence).



The explanation for why that's true is long reply of its own & better left for another day, as it's a complicated issue, where trade-offs (compromises) made in order to get it passed may have unintended consequences which we're going to regret.
