		<description><![CDATA[The results of a poll, saying that 47% believe being Gay is a choice made by homosexuals, shows how much that people do not use any common sense, in arriving at their conclussions. It is like these people believe someone would choose to be hated, to be ridiculed and object of discrimination. It is unbelievable how so many don't get it, that if they want to preserve their religious freedom, they need to grant all people access to all civil rights, and privleges.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gay families attended the Easter Egg hunt at the White House, which is nice symbolic gesture, but will it be enough to convince Congress to repeal DADT &#038; DOMA? Will it be enough to get the Mathew Shepard Bill passed? Will President Obama even request Congress to do those things, or will it be like Bill Clinton, all show, and no action. Can Obama wield enough power, to get Congress to do the right thing, to insure equal rights for everyone, or will it fall on deaf ears, as it has in the past? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The passage of Proposition 8 in California is just one of many defeats for Gay Rights, or perhaps that is the issue itself. People associate the desire for Gays to marry as something akin to Gay Rights, when the truth is, it is about Civil Rights. Whether it is pushing for a repeal of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Proposition 8 is winning, or so the Polls say and that is rather disconcerting. I do not understand why so many are willing to oppose equality for Homosexuals, or why they have such a fear of us. We are no different than them. We have our bigots, our idiots who are inconsiderate, who are criminals, [...]]]></description>
