However, what differentiates him from most of the other politicians is that he grossly betrayed LGBT people who had hopes that he would live up to his campaign promises. <br /><br />I hope that the March on Washington, and other meaningful activism that occurs, convey the appropriate level of anger directed against that betrayal.

Thankfully many LGBT people have seen the light and are saying "enough".Buffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328034026300036704noreply@blogger.com
