5. I'll get flamed for this, but there are more important issues . . .
to tackle right now than gay rights . . . and I'm speaking as a gay man . . . with the country on the verge of initiating WWIII in the Middle East, killing people and destroying nations with depleted uranium bombs, and all the rest of it, I just can't get incensed about gay marriage -- or any other interest group issues, for that matter -- important as it may be in the long run . . . because if we don't stop the BushCo takeover of the country and their rape of the planet, the rights of gays and lesbians will be in no more or less jeopardy than the rights of everyone else . . . to me, gay issues are on the back burner until we can get corporations out of government, Bush out of the White House, and Republicans (and their Democratic enablers) out of Congress . . .
