This is a week to remember, with Democrats saying that ENDA and DADT repeal won't happen this Congressional session, Indiana Stonewall Democrats rebelling and refusing to endorse their party's Senate nominee, and several GetEqual actions for ENDA and DADT repeal as well as IDAHO kiss-ins and protests all over the world.

In my humble opinion NO LGBT group should endorse any Democratic candidate period solely because of this total deliberate inaction on ENDA and DADT. NO LGBT person or group should give a Democratic candidate any contributions as it just encourages them to do it once again. In my opinion we have been played the fools too many times on this issue and the only places where they might feel a sting from their screwing us around (in a non-pleasurable way of course) is when they start the campaigning process in earnest only to find no real support by LGBT groups or persons in any way. Personally, without ENDA passage I will be voting for the Green Party this fall myself. That is the Green Party not the Tea Party mind you.
Forgive me for repeating myself, because I already posted this quote in a comment on another thread, but Joanna Sue' s comment so much sounds like she is channeling another leader from another time in another movement:
I really love that quote! Issued almost a hundred years ago, it so precisely captures the exact same predicament that the LGBT movement now finds itself in.
