Re: Waiting for us to change

You first. I at least took the step of outing myself. Have you done that? Let me know when you have, and then I'll give more consideration to your advice. I'm not marching in the streets, and I sure as hell am not going to riot. That's not my nature. There are different kinds of movements (and sub-movements) and not all of them are ostentatious and aggressive. That will not work for us; not now. We need a different tack. It will require finesse and creativity.

Outting yourself has achieved nothing. That's not the first step. The first step is having a plan, having some place to go, something to do. What have you done? Nothing.

Your political correctness and lack of being a part of any greater movement makes you ineffective. Of course I know you all too well Markaba, that's why specifically said everyone is to blame. But of course I knew you'd try to put yourself above the rest as you like to do.

The media would destroy us, saying, "See? They can't control their impulses. They're violent and mentally unstable."

Funny but they didn't say that about other minorities who rioted. It's always seemed to go in their favor. But you try to knock it before it is even tried, "oh, that'll never work." As if anything we have done so far has worked. As if they aren't already passes more and more laws against us.

No effin' way. I've done far more to advance our cause by being an honest, responsible and law-abiding MAP than I ever could have if I were to follow your advice

And what you have done has amounted to nothing. You might as well have never come out.
