Other LGBT issues we should push first, before DOMA and DADT
I just realized something. How and when did DOMA and DADT become the main gay issues?
I was trying to figure it out and I don't remember seeing the heighten build up.
However, my point of this piece is to ask...Are they the ones we push first?
I hope that's not an evil thing to say, but I think there are other issues we should fight for just as much.
- Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act
- ENDA or Employment Non-Discrimination Act including protections for our Trans-family
- Healthcare-mostly HIV and AIDS research and treatment (this truly affects our community)
- Military Readiness Enhancement Act-a policy of nondiscrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
I would love hear your thoughts on this...Am I way off here?

The Stuff
- Wonder Man
- I'm very laid back and easy going. I like to meet people, read, talk about politics, culture and life. I am a huge comic book fan (X-Men family and Wonder Woman) I also want to say that I am a proud black gay man...no 'down low' drama here

Believe it or not, the DOMA and DADT are considered the 'easy' fights by the big gay rights proponent organizations like HRC and the like.
