It is great to be idealistic and to want to make a difference. But, idealism without some amount of pragmatism gets us nowhere.
The realities of our system are such that gay people have no choice but to support one of the two major party candidates. Obviously we cannot support Bush. And though we will have a candidate who will talk the separate but equal talk, as disgusting as that is to me, it is still better than the man who talks about amending the Constitution and uses his religious beliefs as an excuse to use the government to discriminate against us.
At best a vote for Nader is a useless vote. In any state in which the vote is close it is not just a useless vote it is a dangerous one for those who would like to see Bush out of office. Nader should get his ego under control and make his point without running for office.
So if you are trying to help me, and believe me I appreciate it, please don't vote for Nader.
