Ok the World has just turned Upside down...

When speakers at  CPAC,   the  UberConservative Poltical  "We Hate Obama-fest"  get  boo'ed  for  anti-Gay rhetoric,  something really wierd  is going on...   

The Obama Administration had better be careful, the Republicans  may not  have been able to  woo African Americans  with Michael Steele's " hip hop GOP",   but  the LGBT community  is very disappointed with the Democrats right now.  When  the crowd at  CPAC is sounding more pro-inclusion  than  the White House Chief of Staff....  the world has clearly gone insane.

When CPAC starts defending the gays, the Democrats ought to start getting worried
by John Aravosis (DC) on 2/19/2010 06:42:00 PM

Joe just posted this. but it's such a powerful video, I'm posting it again here. At the nation's largest conservative conference today - and we're talking right-wing conservative - a right-wing youth goes on a tirade against gays, talking about the natural order of things, about sex being for procreation, etc. The audience boos him. Then they boo him more loudly. A moderator had to get up and calm down the rather large audience.

Watch it, then a bit of commentary.



When conservatives are standing up for gays, and Democrats treat us like we are an embarrassment, there's a problem.

No one wants Sarah Palin to be President. But we're talking about our civil rights. I think a lot of straight Democrats don't get that. They see out and proud gay people, a lot of us have good jobs, nice clothes, get to travel the world (and a lot of us don't, but they don't ever meet them), so they think our civil rights battle is some kind of champagne party to us, as if we're doing it for fun because we really have everything we could ever want. Well, anyone who thinks that didn't grow up gay. They didn't grow up thinking they were a pervert. That they were sick. That they'd never find love, never get married, never have children or a family of their own - because God made them wrong. They didn't grow up thinking they'd have to kill themselves once they hit the age of 30 because they'd be single, and people would 'figure out' that they were gay, and then they'd lose all their friends and family and their job and career. And they knew they couldn't live with that.

That last point is important. Pick any political issue, any political constituency, and ask yourself how many of those issues, how many of those people, considered killing themselves over their issue. Not a lot, I'm guessing. Now you're starting to understand why gay civil rights advocates, why gay people, care so fervently about their "issue." It's not just an issue for us. It's our lives.

That's what it's like to be gay in America.

We're talking about our lives. And when the Republicans increasingly say the right things, like repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell now, and even supporting marriage, and all the Democrats show is political homophobia, gays get the message.

Some gays and lesbians will vote for Democrats regardless of how blatantly the Obama administration and the Democratic party back away from their promises to repeal DADT, repeal DOMA, and pass ENDA. Regardless of how clear it is that the White House will appoint an openly gay cabinet member or an openly gay Supreme Court justice when hell freezes over. But I think, come November, and come many more Novembers in the future, a lot of gays and lesbians, are going to realize that we're talking about our lives, rather than our right to attend a cocktail party. And when it comes to our lives, and voting for someone who treats us with the same kind of shame every single one of us grew up, I think you're going to see an increasing number of gay Americans distancing themselves from the Democratic party with their donations and their votes.   They may not vote Republican, they simply may not vote at all.

To the White House, the DNC, and our leadership in Congress: You are messing with people's lives, and we know it. And the day that an anti-gay bigot gets booed at CPAC, you all better start being very afraid.
