All eyes on Denver
This week will be a drag regarding news about the anti-gay industry.
You all know why. This is the week of the Democratic National Convention so all eyes are on Denver as the media will pontificate, guesstimate, and, in the case of Fox News and others like them, try to throw a monkeywrench in on the proceedings.
And the majority of the heavy hitting progressive bloggers are there also.
Oh well, there is always 2012 for me.
Seriously though, my guess is that the anti-gay industry will have their forces all keyed to making Obama look like a sepia Damien Thorne.
One good thing about him getting the nomination is how it threw everything into chaos. I think the anti-gay industry, et. al. were expecting Clinton to get the nomination and they were counting on her to galvanize supporters who are not necessarily sold on McCain.
How the pedulum turns.
Other than watching the convention, I think that I am going to take time out this week to work on several projects, including my other blog.
This is not to say that I am taking a break. We all know how the anti-gay industry is.
No rest for the wicked.

For me, it is sad to see McCain in the last couple of weeks play to the anti-gay elements of the Republican party, the evangelicals. Even Barry Goldwater, Mr. Conservative, was for gay rights. Whoever is elected President the argument over Gay Rights will continue and we will endure.
This is true. It's all about strategy. I don't think the salvation, so to speak, of the lgbt community lies with any politician. We should pick the one whose administration puts us in the best position to get what we need. the rest is up to us.
Alvin, i respectfully disagree. What we need can't be "given" to us by any one politician ......... or, any one party .... it is just that the justice of our cause will be recognized.
charles, i think we are saying the same thing ;p.
Take the case of Bill Clinton. True he signed DOMA and that ridiculous Don't Ask, Don't Tell, but it was under his administration that the lgbt community came more into the American mainstream. Could we count on Clinton to have our back all of the time? No. But he provided us with an opening to move forward.
