ENOUGH with the game of lies being played on the lgbt community - The lgbt community has trounced the right when it comes to issues of our basic equality (sexual matters, family, marriage, adoption of children) time after time. Yet, we are still dancing to their tune when they attack us, i.e. us allowing them to control the narrative and language which makes it seem as if we are the persecutors when they are the ones attacking us.

Of course they will never have to unless we change the game. Will we?
