WAKE THE FUCK UP

167. There is some truth to your point (but)

in that people lived in fear of being outed, but the poster you are responded to made a really excellent point. It's great that gays can now be married and no longer have to live under that fear, but that reform (still in progress) is one that TPTB can toss us as a bone. It cost them nothing. No threat whatsoever to the corporate bottom line, which is the elephant in the room that the OP mostly ignored and dictates the decisions of both parties.

The gay issue is very effective at keeping left and right divided, which greatly pleases the oligarchs, they hide behind the curtain counting their profits while the proletariat argues about gays and guns and god and abortions. And that's why we are really losing, we're fighting each other, far left vs. moderate left, Dem vs. Republican, Dem vs. libertarian, whatever, instead of fighting the people behind the scenes, the big money capitalists who are actually running both major parties, and most of the world.

When we win a concession from power that actually results in more of the pie going to the people and less of the pie to the corporations, we'll know we're getting somewhere.
