A new campaign from the Victory Fund: "Anti-gay extremists are pumping millions of dollars into campaigns across the country. Their goal: to silence fair-minded American voters by electing candidates who won't stand up to their hate and bigotry. But what's really at stake? If anti-gay extremists win, what will you lose?"

It's not just in the USA, but in particular our friends in the US should take heed, that by this time next year or sooner, if the congress falls to the anti-gay candidates, LGBT people may well find themselves subject to criminal charges again just for being gay and that means they will have lost everything.
Oh no, you say, Obama would never let that happen, or perhaps you think it would never pass the senate.
Think again, and then get everyone you know in the USA to vote for candidates that won't leave you with less than nothing.
If the US caves in to the irrational bigots, the movement for world wide acceptance of LGBT rights will no doubt falter in many other countries.
At this stage of the game it is fast becoming us or them, and it is damn time for the human race to give up the ignorant model of the dark ages.

Des...what is pissing off the conservatives so much is that many of the issues they would like to shove down the throats of the LGBT community have now been pushed into the courts, something they do not control.
Right now there is nothing more dangerous to the conservatives in this country than a gay lawyer ;-D

That's okay for the gay lawyers until the conservative politicians pass laws that amend the constitution to deny LGBT people of their rights. It's happened before (Nazi Germany, for one.)
