Celebrate over the bodies of those you beat bloody and senseless.
No, not us. You see, I never gained an ounce in my life from any gay rights ordinances or laws.
I was married in California before there was anything -- no domestic partnerships, no civil unions, no nothing.
I have never, in my 45 years of gay existence, taken advantage of lawful promises of job protection or housing. You see, I value myself too much to work for a homophobe or live in a dwelling owned by one.
Where I might have had occasion to take advantage of laws protecting GLBT people, there were no such laws where I lived at the time.
And where there were such laws, I did not need them.
No, I fight for GLBT equality not because I would or did or ever would personally benefit for it, even though I am gay. I spend my time and energy on this issue for the future.
You spent more than a million dollars to defeat marriage equality in Maine. I hope it was worth it.
That's 100,000 turkey dinners for the poor.
20,000 winter jackets.
10,000 nights out of the cold and wind for a family in a hotel room.
So, anti-gay right, celebrate over those people, who you could have helped, but didn't in your quest to take something away from the people you despise. You appall me, but the only way to destroy a man is to give him back something broken.
We didn't ask for this fight, we asked for our rights. Was it worth it for you to do what you did to the above people?
