Hillary continues from page 32<br />

believe electing him will be a good start. <strong>The</strong>n<br />

you will not believe anything <strong>to</strong> the contrary<br />

because there is no way <strong>to</strong> prove anything will<br />

happen if we do any or all of that. And that is the<br />

funny thing because Trump could put us in<strong>to</strong> a<br />

deeper depression then we have ever seen be<strong>for</strong>e.<br />

Again could it be great, if it only helps some but<br />

still horrible <strong>for</strong> many. So while my endorsement<br />

is <strong>for</strong> Hillary and not necessarily these that contribute<br />

or work <strong>for</strong> the magazine they are both<br />

mine and Adrian’s as we are negotiating joint<br />

ownership of the future of the DDG.<br />

Again I don’t need <strong>to</strong> point out Hillary’s qualifications,<br />

even Bernie agrees with me on that,<br />

he just thinks he is better, and he should. No<br />

one runs and says “I am not as good as the front<br />

runner but I get credit <strong>for</strong> running right? Ok” he<br />

does say that sometimes as he claims the deck is<br />

stacked against him. And 45% of the nation’s vote<br />

proves he was not silenced.<br />

<strong>The</strong> reason this magazine makes an endorsement<br />

<strong>for</strong> Hillary is because, no other candidate has<br />

been there <strong>for</strong> us <strong>for</strong> all of the <strong>21</strong> <strong>years</strong> this magazine<br />

has covered the gay community. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />

literally hundreds of pages of his<strong>to</strong>ry supporting<br />

Hillary. And while no one seriously argues that<br />

Bernie is also a champion <strong>for</strong> gay rights that is<br />

not our issue. <strong>The</strong> same his<strong>to</strong>ry, we believe the<br />

young are lacking, as they prance and preen on<br />

Pride weekend without a though of our his<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />

I can tell you that it did not happen until a Pride<br />

existed. But if you would like <strong>to</strong> know ask me<br />

and I will drop my pants and show you a scare I<br />

have from being stabbed and a gay pride and one<br />

hundred other s<strong>to</strong>ries of people getting bashed<br />

and arrested <strong>for</strong> their rights. Or the s<strong>to</strong>ry I wrote<br />

about Hurricane Katrina in 2005 how a man<br />

watched them take his lover away without a good<br />

by because he feared that his gayness would be<br />

expose <strong>to</strong> the rescue workers as they were showed<br />

a distinct deference <strong>to</strong> LGBT community, or just<br />

a few <strong>years</strong> ago on a trip <strong>to</strong> Bos<strong>to</strong>n in old caddie<br />

convertible turned ugly <strong>for</strong> us as we drove down<br />

the wrong street.<br />

You might also not notice that Hillary has been <strong>to</strong><br />

the <strong>to</strong>p of the mountain, we blame her husband’s<br />

administration that her use of the word “super<br />

preda<strong>to</strong>rs” AKA hardened or repeat offender,<br />

launched a sea of racially motivated attacks on<br />

black people, poor people or other minorities.<br />

When the fact could be that perhaps we underestimated,<br />

as we want <strong>to</strong> do <strong>to</strong> this day, the level of<br />

racism and bigotry especially in our police <strong>for</strong>ce.<br />

As gay people can say amen <strong>to</strong> anyone who needed<br />

protection <strong>for</strong> gay assault. Perhaps only one<br />

person alive <strong>to</strong>day knows that bitter truth more<br />

than anyone, and Hillary needs our vote next<br />

week <strong>to</strong> help our nation heal.<br />

Hillary knows this struggle and while our nations<br />

once again, engage a tremendous legacy of fighting<br />

human rights violations, a revolution even if<br />

it could happen, will not address the inequality<br />

felt by many of us in this nation.<br />

If you fool America by pretending that racial<br />

and other bias cannot be addressed, and use that<br />

<strong>to</strong> ask us once again stand down and let this<br />

revolution happen, you are no better than the<br />

2008 GOP who claimed the economy was more<br />

important right now than civil justice,. All you<br />

are doing is undermining those that fight <strong>for</strong><br />

justice <strong>for</strong> the people. Justice after all is the only<br />

true genesis <strong>for</strong> revolutions. And it fucking well<br />

should be the only reason. When that notion<br />

is lost on the other sides, we must fight harder<br />

<strong>to</strong> make it an issue because it is always the only<br />

issue.<br />
