re: #214 Belafon

It will, but I think it’s going to have a really nasty consequence for Republicans in future elections. Everyone is either a woman or has a mother.

I think one of the things that helped gays was that in the last decade or so, as gays came out to their families, more and more people found out they knew, or were related to, a gay person. Thus, an attack on gays suddenly became an attack on a friend or family member. It’s going to be the same with attacks on Clinton.

That is my hope as well. That the attacks on women will be a bridge too far because as you get at womanhood is something very easy to relate to. I think you’re right about LGBT people and why support for LGBT rights has grown which is another strike against those “moderate conservatives” who claim not to be anti-gay but wish those who are gay would “shut up” about it.
