I know some people are angry and let down about this, but I prefer to just think of it as a delay. We'll get there. I know that for a fact.

I wish I could share your optimism, Rebis, but I think that once the GLB have the laws they want, the majority will ignore and neglect us the same way other political entities do now. We are too few and too politically weak for anything other to happen.

I need to believe that our time will come.
After thinking about it, I really don't like the idea of being forgotten for someone else's convenience.
Our time will come! I growl thru clenched teeth.
