Obama remains adamantly opposed to our equality so it hardly matters whether he or his Republican opponent, who’ll also oppose equality, wins or loses. In any case our fight will be won by mass campaigns and mass actions, like the 2009 NEM, the March on Washington which led to the almost immediate passage of the tepid, even for liberals, hate crimes bill.

On Tuesday, November 6, 2012 vote for socialist or labor (if Trumka unleashes the Labor Party) candidates or join the millions of smart voters, about a third of all eligible voters, who’ll just sit it out rather than give their votes to either party of bigots. (Unless something like Prop 8 is on the ballot and then do vote on that.)

Instead of voting for bigots who oppose our right to marraige our energy should be put to constructive uses building more mass actions and campaigns for a comprehensive and inclusive Civil Rights Amendment. Even an inclusive ENDA, with all its weaknesses, would be a big step forward.

That’s all I’m asking for. I don’t need a list. I already know what’s on it.

No movement on anything which really matters like ENDA or marriage.

No promise to restore our civil and human rights.

One need not read between the lines, we are getting less here than nothing.

Thanks, HRC. My gayATM is still shuttered for anybody but those Democrats who have proved their value to me as a gay man.

As for the rest – well, pull off New York and I’ll give you 60 seconds to convince me otherwise.
