OP
I don't have 2 hours to monitor her witch hunt. Perhaps someone else can verify this?

I'm going to reiterate here what I found as the most laughable bumpersticker I saw while I was in the Colorado Springs area:
"Focus on your Own Damn Family".

Young LGBT people who, out of fear of suffering a social - even physical - death, would turn against themselves and each other.
This is how society ends up with Karl Roves and J. Edgar Hoovers.

I'm going to SF Pride this year to aid the public spectacle, perhaps as part of my company's contingent.
Been in both the physical threat of death and the social one before, at 16 years old, and became a runaway to save my own life.
Never again. This will be stopped, and reversed. They'll have to place me in a death camp before I'll stop.
