How did the T get in LGBT? The 30-year fight for a federal gay civil rights law may fail because activists insist on including rights for transgendered people too. Has gay inclusiveness gone too far too fast?
  • "T"'s, Grab on to another set of coattails...

    Let's see... Gay was fine, was it not? Language and the meanings dufferent words take on, especially over a ten or thirty year period of time, change like the tides. Lesbians wanted 'more'. It wasn't enough to be gay. Bi? Why are we even talking about them in any talk of legislation at all? A large percentage are prostitutes, players, or just confused...the rest will make a decision one way or the other, and then hope that they fall on the right side of the applicable legislation. Too many have worked too hard, for too long, to have fringe groups, with little in common, jumping on a bill, like jumping on a sinking boat. Because that is what will happen. The "T"'s will get theirs..in "tttime." Maybe they can jump on board with others who have bad fashion taste like M.C. Hammer or P. Diddy. A bill to help those discriminated against wearing too much gold, too much fabric in their pants, and the wrong sex clothing. Other than that, how much do they have in common with mem who have sex with men, or women who have sex with women? Nada. You'll get yours...but wait out your own d*mned ten years.
