I feel like we have left our brothers and sisters behind because we think we can move ahead faster without them at our side. And we're lying to ourselves and them by saying, "We'll be back for you." <BR/><BR/>We won't.

But I had to remind myself that progress often comes in stages. Sometimes its possible to get everything we want all at one time, and other times its not. I'm hopeful that this is a step toward what will some day be equal rights for all Americans. <BR/><BR/>MarkMark in DEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478832787656152843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13145005.post-64763926875502431022007-11-08T16:13:00.000-06:002007-11-08T16:13:00.000-06:00Aaron - I love the whole "jump the shark" saying. ...Aaron - I love the whole "jump the shark" saying.

"Where do you pick up that 'lifestyle' shit? What exactly makes it a 'lifestyle?' Are there special curtains I should buy at Penney's? Is Robin Leach going to come and interview me?? Is 'lifestyle' one of those safe, non-offensive, anodyne words that you guys use in church, like 'social disease' instead of 'crabs?' Learn some new lingo, for Christs sakes!"<BR/><BR/>Maybe we should be reminding Mr. Frank what it felt like to be called "Barney Fag" by Dick Armey (who, himself, has one glass house of a name, doesn't he?).Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13348635630250033381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13145005.post-40597509271655529092007-11-08T13:11:00.000-06:002007-11-08T13:11:00.000-06:00Tina - Excellent point.Tina - Excellent point.Stephen R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05119958421791710858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13145005.post-32395801518903366702007-11-08T13:07:00.000-06:002007-11-08T13:07:00.000-06:00So Transgender is still a lifestyle and not an ide...So Transgender is still a lifestyle and not an identity...Gynocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648289777227426627noreply@blogger.com
