that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with inherent and inalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness."
Should gays and lesbians or any other demographic be excluded from the democratic party? Not according to the Founding Fathers, nor upon the principles upon which this nation was founded. What is it that people don't understand about the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
Personally, I suspect the government has become "destructive to these ends," and it may be time for "the Tree of Liberty" to be refreshed "with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
The very fundament of American politics was designed to insure the safety and happiness of American citizens. Two (or 3 or 20) people trying to bring pleasure to each other doesn't affect my safety or happiness in any way at all. It may or may not affect my COMFORT level. But, be damned, it has NOTHING to do with safety or happiness for me, and much to do with the people participating in those activities. If they aren't hurting anyone, who the hell has the right to prohibit the behavior?
The answer is not to purge the party, the answer is to uphold the sentiments and proclamations which form the basis of the American government. Also, prevent these morally defective chimp supporters from utterly redefining the basis upon which this government was founded.
