Intrepid blogger North Dallas Thirty looks at the response to the Kansas disaster by NGLTF and HRC, which, he notes, unconditionally endorsed a presidential candidate last year who backed passing state amendments banning gay marriage - or have we pointed that out before? The factual errors in the NGLTF release (they call Topeka the state's largest city when it's clearly not) cause him to ponder just how much research into this red state they actually felt they needed to bother with.
From time to time, some of us catch flak for criticizing gay "progressive" groups, as if a failure to stand mute and write checks veers on the treasonous. I'll again state that what we don't need is yet another "echo chamber" blankly applauding inept ideologies and on-autopilot strategies.
Log Cabin decided not to endorse President Bush over his support
for a federal amendment against gay marriage. But there was
virtually no public criticism from within the "community" when HRC
gave Kerry/Edwards a free pass to support (and grant legitimacy to)
anti-gay marriage state constitutional amendments - which, as it
turns out, have become a much greater threat to gay liberty than
the stalled federal amendment which Bush has all but backed away
from.
