21. it's a big deal for me
Waverly_Hills_Hiker - and I'm straight. Sadly, I've been cursed with a social conscience about civil rights issues since I was a child, watching tv and seeing the Bull Connors of the world spraying black people with fire hoses.

It's an issue for me, because women have not achieved parity by any means in this country - and I'm tired of being a pariah - tired of seeing my gay friends treated as pariahs.

It's an issue because I love some folks who are gay.

Civil rights issues are very high on my list of priorities. They used to be important to the Democratic Party.
