“Those People”

Yesterday I overheard two people waiting in line at Espresso Royale talking about the defeat of Proposal 2. One was saying to the other that he didn’t understand why the religious right felt compelled to discriminate against “those people.”

Well, that’s exactly it. As long as even squishy liberals stand around and talk about gays and lesbians and describe us as “those people,” as though we’re some sort of separate alien caste, discrimination will reign supreme.
