America belongs to whoever claims it. That is simple history. Please explain how that is wrong, historically.
I apologize for the old white man comment. Please understand the teachings against people of difference, mostly came from white older men. I was taught, from an early age, to hate myself because I liked the same sex. It was a pure blessing that my Catholic parents saw me through it. We didn't talk about it. But they knew. Not every child has the gift of parents like mine. Imagine being nine years old and sitting through sermons about how homosexuals are going to purgatory and probably hell. When evangelicals are waving their arms and screaming about homosexuals, it is hard to hear. White, old politicians align themselves with them.
Old white men comes to mind with abortion too. I've never been pregnant. I'd like to think that I'd have the baby if that happened. I have a big loving family. I would have help. What about the young woman who doesn't? It is politicians, most of them, old white men, that demand young women have children but limit public assistance.
When it comes to divisiveness, I hate it. The angry protesters who threaten people in the name of LGBTQ do not speak for us. Who are these people? It is not the community I've come to know. Some of my lifestyle friends have bought into the anger. But, most of us have strong family values and consideration. We are protective over the young people in our families. The big divide is bringing harm to everyone. I'm speaking my mind here, with no intention to insult anyone.
