"But we also recognize that it is not the role of law itself to correct every wrong in our society. We also know that with enough money, it is far easier to cajole and change the minds of lawmakers than it is to change the attitudes of millions of voters. Law is not, and has not been, the solution to sex and racial discrimination and will not be for sexual orientation."

Your solution appears to be that "with enough money" Gays will be able to change things more effectively than through the social grass-roots movements that enacted change in the past. Money is not the cure-all, Sun. But, your argument gets to the core of your thinking and those who think like you.

You have bought into the belief that you can BUY your way into the American mainstream. You don't think that those who have the money and the power are not wise to this "bargainig" rationale? Of course they are, Sun! When you make a financial "deal" with the White heterosexual Big Boys who control corporate America, it is never at a greater cost to them. They are not the fool that you are when it comes to bargaining. You may gain some financial profit -- at the cost of an openly Gay identity and as long as you play by THEIR rules. But, bet your sell-out ass that they will NEVER allow you, or any other suspected Gay man, of making MORE than them or taking their place at the royal throne, Sun.

Historically, your way has not been proven effective. It was SOCIAL activism and grass-roots movements that brought about DRAMATIC changes for Gays, African-Americans, and women in America during the turbulent 60's, 70's, and early 80's. Your approach also excludes those who may be blocked out of the financially privileged fold by things like - OH - discrimination, harassment, and higher-paying jobs. Or do those hings exist or get acknowledged in your get-rich-quick scheme for a better world for Gays?

Sun, your games and political posturing have really worn thin. In previous posts you adamently claimed that you did not defend "conservative" values. Yet, here you are contradicting yourself - AGAIN - by coming out as a bona fide, self-professed conservative.

Proof? Allow me to refresh your convenient memory;

Sun strongly disagrees he defends conservative values.

Now, compare that post to this statement by Sun:

Every time I read one of Jake2001's thinly disguised Neo-Marxist renderings, I hear a faint tune in the background that sounds vaguely familiar like the Internationale of a bygone era. What next Jake2001? Storming the Winter Palace in Saint Petersberg (Florida)?
We Gay Capitalists (read: Conservatives) eschew Leftist dogma that proclaims "revolution" in the pursuit of gay rights.

Any other confessions or contradictions while you are coming clean, Mister?
