Being A Truth Teller

http://transgriot.blogspot.com/2009/01/being-truth-teller.htmlDuring and after the wake of the racist attacks on me from the Queerty commenters over my Obama post, my mind kept drifting back to a quote attributed to the late poet Gwendolyn Brooks.
Truth-tellers are not always palatable. There's a preference for candy bars
One of the things about me and this blog (and any other one that I'm given the honor to post to) that won't change is that I'm blunt and to the point about calling out bull->-bleeped-<- when I see it. It hasn't made me the most popular person sometimes in GLBT circles, but that's the cross you bear when you are striving for the higher goals of passing broad based civil rights legislation, creating an inclusive community and a better world for all.
