The gay community has gone through post mortem after post mortem in terms of dissecting why the Prop 8 fight in Cal-ee-forn-ia was lost last year. But I doubt anyone thought about one simple change that will help immeasurably in this struggle.
Flying the American flag.
Since today is Flag Day, starting like yesterday, the TBLG community should make sure Old Glory is front and center at every protest, every march, and the backdrop at every press conference that's held from now until the next electoral showdown in 2010 and beyond.
ABSOLUTELY!
I am an American and a veteran who served my country honorably. I am also a transsexual. I refuse to give up the flag of my country for use only by the haters and bigots.
