GAY UNHAPPINESS WITH THE WHITE HOUSE: Dan Savage proposes civil disobedience: ?Here?s the idea: on?

GAY UNHAPPINESS WITH THE WHITE HOUSE: Dan Savage proposes civil disobedience: “Here’s the idea: one gay or lesbian couple?a couple currently denied their rights under DOMA?shows up at the entrance to the White House grounds. A different couple every day. They ask to speak to the president about DOMA. They’re refused. They sit down. They refuse to leave. They’re arrested, carried away by the police. Couples would be recruited from all over the country, demonstrating that gay marriage isn’t just an issue in liberal California or godless New England, and the media in each couple’s home city and state would be notified in advance of their arrest.”

Meanwhile, Andrew Sullivan says Cut off the DNC’s money! “One way to get the Obama administration’s attention on civil rights is for gay people to stop funding the Democrats. That’s all these people care about anyway when it comes to gays: our money. If the Democrats refuse to support us, refuse to support them.”
