I'm going to juxtapose these two sentences and allow them to stand on their own merit:
The real enemies are the leaders of the groups that get their followers to support their ideas AND the ignorance that allows that to happen.
I'm not sure that picking poor, uneducated, fertile straight people as the next enemy is the the best choice of target for our anger.
Uh, okay. Ignorance does not always equal uneducated, and I have always put the responsibility on the religious leaders. I have said it before and I will say it again, gay issues would not be the issues they are without religion. I,am, in fact, pointing my finger at religion and the leaders as a root cause (I don't think that makes my statements contradictory or hypocritical). Religion is a good target for the anger, but the followers are not a good place to attack. We will likely not change the opinion of the preachers who have made bazillions of dollars by denigrating gay people - I'm not convinced that even they believe what they say half the time, they just know it works. They count on it.
I am saying we need to educate not attack.
