I'm straight.. I'm white. And I'm male.
I feel totally fucked over by the Democrats and I can't imagine how it must feel to be a woman or a member of the LGBT community today in America.

I feel for all of my brothers and sisters today.

2. Bless you.
It hurts. I know how you feel because I felt this way after Prop H8 passed and after the same ilk of people voted to take away gay marriage in Maine. You don't have to be gay or female to know this is wrong. Thank you. :hug:

5. We need a freedom bus for a real gay and straight coalition.
It's just sad seeing what's happening. It's really not getting any better for anyone in America. I think about my daughter, my gay niece, all those that will come after them and before them. It just makes you sad, makes you feel like giving up.

6. We are all human.
And whatever oppresses one group oppresses all of us, gay, straight, bi, male, female, transgender.

We're all in this together. :hug:

8. So am I -- but I can relate to Wanda Sykes...
... and I feel screwed over by the Bush Dog Wing of the Democratic Party.

Single Payer NOW!!!

13. The LGBT community has a right to feel screwed
but all the women I know are happy about the healthcare reform. I don't feel screwed at all. I think some people on DU are out of touch with what a lot of uninsured women are going through. It must be nice but I grew up with no insurance as did most of the people I know.

16. Thank you.
Both groups are always the ones staring from the ship at the retreating life-boats. The poor are on here too, they just haven't gotten their slap yet.

18. Another straight white male checking in.
I agree with the OP, and add that I feel pretty much helpless to do much about the situation.

For that matter, I feel the same way about the way "my" party is coddling Wall Street. (Not all of us straight white males are rich, you know.)
