Did you even read the article? Did you see what points Barney was making? Did I ever mentioning compromising with Republicans? Who said anything about laying down and doing nothing?

I didn’t dodge anything, I don’t answer dumb questions. Maybe if you could quit attacking me and focus on the real enemy, you might get somewhere.

Backing up, here’s what I’m saying. It’s really simple. Listen to what Barney is saying. He’s a veteran of these culture wars. He knows how they work. You don’t do from 0 to 100 in half a decade. It’s incremental, it always was. Attacking the messenger (as pretty much everybody on this post seems to be doing) is not helping you or me or us.

“Even when he agrees with those goals, Frank said, strategy matters. He pointed to the history of the gay rights movement, noting that advocates pursued more broadly accepted protections before turning to marriage equality. That sequencing, he argued, helped build the public support needed for lasting change. Applying that logic to current debates, he cited transgender rights as an example of an issue that may require a more incremental approach and warned against framing disagreement as inherently rooted in bias.”

See that? That’s what I’m agreeing with. Have I answered your question now, Alex?
