The gay agenda is equality for lesbians and gays.
Long-time gentle readers recall I participated in the National Equality March for homosexual equality in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 11, 2009, just a month after marching in the 9/12 Tea Party March on Washington. The speakers at both marches were filled with love of country and reverence for the Constitution and America’s founding principles. But the gay and lesbian speakers spoke of America from the point of view of their hurt and amazement that in America — America! — they are not equal. In America!
P.S.
What’s up with The Daily Show not having any token lesbian or gay reporters/commentators? I nominate me.
P.P.S.
Bonus from Oct. 13, 2009, partly because it includes Lt. Dan Choi speaking — see above, “hurt,” “amazement,” “America! In America!” — and partly because Jon Stewart contrasts the coverage of the Tea Party March with that of the Equality March — it seems there’s plenty of “You’re not covering my protest because you disagree with us!” to go around:
