Justin – one simple question – were you at the Rally and workshop conference in Texas, Austin to be exact this last weekend. If you were there and made this comment that would give you validity – if you were not then you have posted this statement in the wrong place. I suggest you post in the applicable places. My interest is changing the status of LGBT community by attaining equality through a civil rights amendment.. Nothing immature about that! How we do it is another story and frankly there is room for any form of protest right now.

A piece of advice – if you do find the right place to post your ‘nahna nah na na’ comment do not forget to provide a detailed alternative when criticizing the actions of others who are passionate in their cause. Give them a better way if you know it.

The groups you mention is not us- we are the messengers.

There are 20 million LGBTQ persons in the Untied States. There are about 2,000 self-described “activists.” This should give everyone an idea about how useful these silly misfits are.

The strategy is DEMANDING. Just get loud enough and rude enough and everything will be great. This is exactly how a toddler thinks.

GetEQUAL is the latest group of “street performers” and they have been ignored by the media and the LGBT Community. It is childish to think we can just “demand” our way to victory.

Try to come up with something useful or effective. Barney Frank was right GetEQUAL is “stupid and childish” and “they don’t change any minds.”

We need fewer ‘activists” and more thinkers. Complaining is easy, thinking requires some real effort.

Please STOP embarrassing the LGBT Community with your childish stunts.
