Comments on: Marriage is official in Argentina http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/07/21/24555 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Thu, 23 May 2013 06:14:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Regan DuCasse http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2010/07/21/24555/comment-page-1#comment-73360 Regan DuCasse Thu, 22 Jul 2010 19:35:19 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=24555#comment-73360 Each statement from the leadership of Spain, Canada, Argentina, South Africa and so on... is an example to our own Presidents. Considering how Clinton and Obama are from Ivy League law schools, it's a sure sign of cowardice, rather than articulation, that they don't see and opportunity here to lead in defending gay people effectively. I'm not afraid to. Neither are other elected officials like Rep. John Lewis, a venerated civil rights activist. WTF? It's not standing up for committed citizens who have been left to systemic bigotry so long that divides the country, but being silent or clumsy about it. As I always say, straddling a fence cuts off circulation to your cojones. Each statement from the leadership of Spain, Canada, Argentina, South Africa and so on…

Hopefully we will come forth from the dark ages soon. I guess most gay couples in the US can now sing “Do cry for me Argentina.” Hopefully we will come forth from the dark ages soon.
