Keith is becoming my hero
Keith Olberman is getting a record for standing up for morale issues (and against immoral positions) that is earning a lot more than just my respect.
Here is his special commentary from last nite (10 Nov) on his show. It was so emotional and so touching that I had tears of pride that someone would stand up and make such a case on such a national, public forum.
Olbermann: Gay marriage is a question of love
Everyone deserves the same chance at permanence and happiness
take care, everyone.
hugs
Jude

Really Inflammatory Subject Within
hey there,
(Just for those who don't know me, I'm mid-50's, white, southern background, and a mid-transition MtF.)
Well, I know a lot of us, myself and Sweety included, were disappointed when all the anti-gay-marriage issues failed (from our point of view) last week.
There were several reports on different trans blogs sites about how the black vote was significantly in favor of these amendments. Some of these other bloggers expressed shock, anger, disappointment.
Then, I heard this interview on NPR today with a black lesbian activiitst (Writer Jasmyne Cannick), and how she felt what a poor job the No on Prop 8 folks did in contacting the black community and also in general, how, she charges, the white gay communitydoesn't pay much attention to the black gay community.
Op-Ed: Why Black Voters Didn't Fight Prop. 8

I heard the whole interview (about 20 min or so, I think), and I can really agree with some of the lady's points, but I'm wondering what other folks think. I don't live in California, and so have little real information on what sort of campaigning was done there. Was the No campaign disorganized? Was the No campaign too exclusively white?
Please don't shoot me. Thanks
