The Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Caucus Is Upset

The Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Caucus is part of the Florida Democratic Party. The GLTB Caucas is angrey at the FDP for their silence on Amendment 2.

"The caucus wanted the party to do a mailing opposing Amendment 2 and it never went anywhere,'' said Stephen Gaskill, a spokesman for the GLBT Caucus. "The party's official position was that they don't take positions on constitutional amendments, but this is a civil rights issue at its core...We decided that we wanted a say in the direction of the party.''

Can anyone blame them?

The Democratic Party pays lip service to the LGBT community. THE FDP offers no aid when gay rights are stripped away. The Democratic establishment chooses political convenience over LGBT issues. That doesn't stop Republicans from demonizing Democrats are gay issues. The best way to fight is push back. Democrats can explain why gay marriage is not a threat to hetrosexual marriage or families. The FDP ducks and hides; instead of getting in the trenches. Their attitude is the LGBT community has no other place to go. Sadly, they are right.
