Soon into my advocacy, I realized that we were going nowhere. That we had no Gay movement. That although we had marginalized our de facto (factual) existence, the latter a victory, by failing horribly in our de jure (Legal)quest, through the ridiculous notion that piecemeal legislation still served our LGBT Legal interests.
Earlier last year I wrote a Pink Print and published it this year here on Lezgetreal. It got some attention. However, Todd Fernandez one of the very few who supported this idea and took it seriously, liking the pink plan, joined me in the realization that this idea would not move one inch if placed in the hands (certainly in its infancy) in the hands of the LGBT organizations or any single member of Congress or the Senate, for that matter.
