I must say that you are one of the very few LGBT rights activists who exudes and demands dignity and intactness on the part of those who presume to call themselves "activists," and who encourages all LGBT people to realize that they are not mistakes, and are made in the exact image that God created them to be. <br /><br />You epitomize these qualities that make a true and meaningful activist, as well as an intact and authentic human being!<br /><br />Only when LGBT people understand the crucial message that they are completely normal and must live out lives of dignity; cast off the negative, hateful, and ignorant messages they have been fed for so many years, will equality become a reality.

But I did manage to pull some of the delicious "meat" from this one and post it at Ignorance Is Plentiful in my Jerry Maneker sidebar feature. This is the kind of essay that triggers hate mail by the pound, but it is exactly the kind of message today's misguided LGBT activists need to hear. There's an old Tommy James song with these lyrics: "You can't climb that mountain/Carrying a ball and chain/It takes all the love that you can give/To get to the other side." People claiming to be Gay activists must throw down the burden of internalized shame and go into battle with genuine pride (not the phony kind you see so much of) and love for themselves. That's the only way they'll ever get on the other side of ignorance and injustice!DC HAMPTON JACOBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884630801131861786noreply@blogger.com
