Something about this gay DNC fundraiser (besides the obvious) has been eating at me, and it’s because of something I read in a story about the administration canceling their engagements to speak because of a labor union’s picket lines.
“While this administration is taking no position on the circumstances of the dispute itself, we have always respected picket lines, and administration officials will not cross this one,” Gibbs said.
I remember reading that quote and then immediately thinking it would be “interesting” if Biden showed up at the big gay fundraiser despite hordes of angry gay protesters. Is it different because we’re not on official strike? Or is it different because we’re gay and don’t have the same rights that straight people do, which makes us less legitimately human than they?
How can they say they won’t cross picket lines when it’s about labor unions, but then dance through the gay picket lines? Wack. The Obama administration has seriously let me down on everything besides diplomacy, but where is he at home? We need his efforts HERE! NOW!
