		<description>&quot;The war for my rights is being waged, and not just by other LGBT people, but also by straight allies who don’t want to live in a country where discrimination is law. What will I tell my children when they ask what I did during the fight for equal marriage?&quot;

Please stop addressing bisexual individuals as &quot;straight or heterosexual&quot;. The only straight allies are incredibly ignorant social conservatives manipulated by duplicitous neurotics. This culture war is a direct response to the fraud initiated in 1947 and 1952 with the subsequent revision to the ALIMPC in 1955 based on the fraudulent and fallacious research conducted by Alfred Kinsey, and subsequently, Evelyn Hooker.

Knowingly promoting the placement of children in &quot;borderline&quot; caretaker environments, regardless of the gender or socioeconomic status of the caretaker environment, by neurotic legal and medical professionals is no less than unethical if not antisocial behavior.</description>

		<description>Great commentary.  I am glad to see you are beginning to understand how each person can play an important role in politics, because it ultimately will all add up.  Whether you engage your friends and family in constructive discussions about politics for the first time, or you devote yourself to a campaign for six grueling months, it adds up.

So the next time there is a major civil right issue you can help out on (like say, getting Prop 8 overturned!) think of the history you can help make.  Think of the stories you can tell future generations.  Yes we can, yes we did, yes we will.</description>

		<description>This is awesome Jenny. I&#039;m glad your not Obama drunk anymore. I agree that that is the only way to get shit done, do it yourself and get involved. I heard the exact same thing last month and it inspired me in the same way.

I got hired to shoot a documentary of grass roots social workers and community organizers. They were really cool and inspiring. One of them turned out to be Bill Ayers and he too had such a drive to make things better. They do it with their actions as opposed to just a vote.

At the end of the shoot I got to talking to them. I was surprised that they were voting for Obama, after realizing that they, like myself, didn&#039;t really like or trust the man. They agreed with me that not much would probably change with him being elected. But one of them said pretty much exactly what Obama said and made me understand why they would vote for him.

&quot;Dont expect any politician to do anything for you. It&#039;s what you do on the ground for your community before and after elections that change things&quot;

Of course I&#039;m paraphrasing.

They basically are using the momentum that the Obama campaign was stirring up, and using it to their advantage to create change on the ground. Some of the older people that were involved in the Civil Rights movement told me that they were happy to see people in their neighborhoods, like you, more in tune to whats going on now since Obama hit the scene. That they were having a little hope now, and talking about issues that they never openly talked about. 

So these people were really making change by being involved and they want to use the good energy that&#039;s going on to make even more change. 

I too hope I get off my lazy ass and do something. I took the leaf blower to my front lawn today. Then decided to clean up my neighbors lawn too. I guess it&#039;s a start.</description>
