Quote Of The Day - Lady Bunny

"Alan Cumming recently wrote that he was so fed up with Democrats’ inaction on gay issues that he was tempted to not vote in the midterm elections. This comes after two years of hearing gays whine “I voted for Hillary” whenever someone gripes about Obama. Well, Hillary isn’t running in the approaching midterms.

"We can’t permit the most extreme brand of Republican to arise in decades to gain ground in Congress. For better or for worse, Democrats are the party which leans toward supporting gay rights in general. They’re in deep trouble because everyone’s broke and people tend to blame the party in power. Even in a robust economy, midterm elections tend to unseat incumbents. But just look at the freak show which is waiting in the wings if you don’t exercise your vote. Staying home is simply not an option. Pressing the Democrats who remain in office on gay issues after the midterms is a wonderful idea -- but you can’t do that if there are too few left in Congress to enact the changes you want." - Lady Bunny, writing for Out Magazine.
