Move On and the DNC have stopped calling me asking for money. It's probably because I keep telling them it's not happening until promises to the LGBT community start being fulfilled. The last DNC fund raiser said, "I understand, you have an agenda."

"I will not attend a fundraiser for the National Democratic Party in Washington next week when the current administration is responsible for these kind of actions. How will they ever take us seriously if we keep forking out money while they harm us. For now on, my money is going to battles within the community such as the fight in Maine or the March on Washington!

It is as if our fight for our freedom is single-handedly responsible for the fate of all other issues. Bullshit. Maybe, just maybe, it is time for others to 'suck it up' for us and finally, without conditions, join our fight for our freedom!"
