A group of prominent gay-rights bloggers, activists, and fundraisers, led by AMERICAblogGAY, is launching a boycott on contributions to the Democratic National Committee and Obama's campaign apparatus:

We are asking voters to pledge to withhold contributions to the Democratic National Committee, Organizing for America, and the Obama campaign until the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is passed, Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) is repealed, and the so-called Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is repealed -– all of which President Obama repeatedly promised to do if elected....

Democrats should not have promised to support gay civil rights rights in exchange for our votes if they never intended to keep the promise. If we're not controversial during the campaign, when politicians are happy to accept our votes and our money, we cannot accept being labeled controversial after our candidates win. We kept our part of the bargain, we voted for Barack Obama and a Democratic Congress. It’s entirely reasonable for us to ask our elected officials to keep their part of the bargain too.

I’m sure Barney Frank will be willing to stick his rear end way out over this in order to lure them back into the Democrat coven.

[JoeMac]

OOOOOOH! The gays are in a snit over the Dems! This ought to be good....

[Califreak]

All right!

Maybe they’ll start a third party & split the dem vote!

[bethybabes69]

The irony, in BOTH directions is amusing.

[Huskrrrr]

Wow, biting the hand that feeds them.

[Signalman]

I’m sure Barney Frank will be willing to stick his rear end way out over this in order to lure them back into the Democrat coven.

Barney will bend over backwards (backwards?) to help the gay alliance.

The author states:
It's an anger so many people feel over broken promises, false promises, double-talk, sales puffery masquerading as deep concern, and smoke and mirrors packaged as hope and change. And I'm referring to Obama supporters, such as the women's movement, who were part of Obama's core constituency but have been thrown under the bus in order for Obama to make history.
Now I hope you all realize what those of us on the right have known all along: It's all about him.

I agree. This guy is right.

[majormaturity]

Yep, have to agree...the gays are pissed..Oh Oh..Bawney better use extra lube for this issue!

[JoeMac]

“C’mon girls, we’ll show those nasty Democrats! We’ll cancel our subscriptions to “The Nation’’ magazine!!

[A CA Guy]

Barney sucks.

He’ll probably use that to his advantage.

[Jim from C-Town]

how stupid, Where are these deviants going to go?

[DMG2FUN]

Oh gee a boycott. So does this mean the perverted homosexuals will not be around the dems?
There is a bonus. How do we get the perverted homosexuals to boycott America?

[longtermmemmory]

The homosexuals should just form a third party called the “pink donkeys”

or something like that...

[bethybabes69]

how stupid, Where are these deviants going to go?

They'll go and have a Dinner Party, I hear they're good at Hosting [although the mayonnaise on the Sandwiches could be risky :p], and maybe they should invite Obomber round to talk about their Political gripes.

Sorry for that, I feel sick now!

[Jim from C-Town]

Wow!, EWWWWW!,

A little gross, but funny

[bethybabes69]

I agree, Jim.
I posted it, than re-read it and thought, eeeuw, that's rather tacky!
