LGBTs have just had their crash

Last Tuesday, the anti-gay wave that fell on America upset the american LGBTs. I invite you to read the reaction of a californian, lesbian and black blogger on Daily Kos: SCREW you California Homophobes. There are reasons to be furious, especially when opponents to gay marriage come on TV saying they love gays. I'm fed up with this hypocrisy. I'm also fed up with politicians, like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, try hard to look gay-friendly but say they are against gay marriage.

Gays have just had their crash too. They had invested on the idea that society naturally tends to progress and they have just realised they were wrong. We are gonna have to fight to be accepted and understood.

I'm thinking of joining a LGBT organisation, maybe Stonewall, next week.

Update. California LGBTs put their flag at half mast after the passage of proposition 8, at the Harvey Milk Plaza.
