The Gay and Lesbian Activists Alliance, the D.C.-based activist troupe, released its annual Jerry Maguire style document titled “Agenda 2010,” which confirms that homosexual activists in fact do have agendas! After bullet pointed items like “Preserving Civil Marriage Equality” and “Transgender Health Needs,” and even “Medical Marijuana” and “Transitional Housing for Homeless LGBT Youth,” is … “Prostitution: Legalize It, Regulate It, Zone It, Tax It.” Well!
According to the Washington Post over the weekend, “D.C.’s gay community hopes to wield power in mayor’s race.” But as the newspaper’s Mike DeBonis notes, “no city lawmaker has yet gone to bat for the idea.” Not that it’s deterring GLAA’s veteran political director Rick Rosendall: “Most of the public officials we talk to agree with us privately.”

This kind of shit is why groups like Log Cabin exist. Because instead of pushing for “gay rights,” groups like this one push for “gay rights and other unrelated bullshit that extreme liberals support.” I mean, I agree with their points on the legalization of prostitution and marijuana, but it’s not really their place to be speaking out on those issues if they have any interest in speaking for gay people generally.

Is it going to be a “measured tax”??????? :-p

@Kevin: Housing for kids who have been kicked out of theirs is extremely liberal.

GLAA is actually a much smaller organization than the DC Log Cabin Club. These positions were hardly developed with any great input from the DC LGBT community.

I figured we were all about sexual freedom, right? Besides, prostitution counts as porn, which is legal, as long as you film yourselves. But I guess then the repugnicans would be too afraid of blackmail to order any.

@Kevin: Except the Log Cabin boys use escorts like crazy!

I say God Bless the Rent Boys! Let’s hear it for the hardworking men who provide pleasure for a horny, lonely visitor to a strange city. And just think–these boys have blown the whistle on hypocritical Repuglicans!!
