		<description>Margaret, I&#039;m a big fan of yours but i&#039;m kinda disappointed how such a vocal activist like yourself don&#039;t also address the problem of racism within the gay community.  The fallout of Prop 8 exposed some of the racism within the gay white community.  My friends have reported racist insults being thrown at them from fellow white gay protesters and being blamed for Prop 8 passing, even though majority of the votes were from white Californians.  Check out this article about a similar racist experience with protesters in Los Angeles.

For anybody still blaming African Americans, you should really do some better research.  Majority of the voters who voted yes on prop 8 were religious conservatives, most of whom are white.  

Honestly I&#039;m not surprised by this racial scapegoating.  I&#039;ve experienced this discrimination in the gay community before prop 8 became an issue.  For example, gay owners of clubs and restaurants in the bay area don&#039;t hire ethnic people because they prefer white bartenders and waiters that look like abercombie fitch models. 

The scapegoating makes gay Black and Hispanic minorities nervous about going to these protests because they might get hated on and blamed for Prop 8.   If equality is missing within the GBLT community, how can we fight wholeheartedly for equal marriage rights?</description>

		<description>Glad you made it out of Cincy alive!  Yes, it is a rather conservative and unfriendly city.  Sorry to have missed your show AND the protest,  but I was thrilled to have Ms. Cho involved in a local event.  Like MC, I&#039;m not gay but consider myself a member of QueerNation and support those who are fightin&#039; the good fight.  Oh, and BTW...sorry &#039;bout the weather in Cincy.  Despite my enormous power, I have no control over that.</description>
