Listen, I know everyone loves to be protective of their own experiences. Whites can't fully understand racism, men, misogyny, etc.

But I'm a geeky gay male who grew believing every bad thing about myself possible. I was never allowed to feel comfortable, not even at home.

I know a little bit about oppression & a lot about being denied a place at the table. In also grew up in real poverty. I've been a feminist my whole adult life, and a vocal one. I studied women's studies at school & I write about these issues more than most women. @coyotecreek158

You tell me that I didn't have a dog in that fight? What a ridiculous, callous, and very white thing to say.

As a gay American I have a dog in all of these fights, one that is continually ignored by more privileged people like you and Siskind.

In supporting McCain and Palin and Republicans, Amy Siskind was saying that she could give two fucks about my life or the lives of many others in other minority groups whose lives would have been negatively affected by that administration.

So, really?

Michelle Bachman's husband leads the "pray the gay away" movement', they torture children physically and psychologically to cure them of something that can't be cured.

I LOVE @HillaryClinton. Both of her campaigns were my life.

PUMAS were an embarrassment.

@coyotecreek158

Hillary gave magnaminity and you brought rage, even when she asked you not to.

The fact is that middle class and better white women were the ones with few real dogs in the fight. You were going to fine in either admin.

The rest of us were not going to be that lucky.
