Mass Equality

1. red white and blue, we’re just like you, campaigns marginalized the already most marginalized members of our community
2. lack of true meaningful coalition building stepped on the toes of smaller organizations many of whom are still afraid to say publicly that they hate MEQ
3. you flyered at pro immigrant and anti-​war rallies but endorsed candidates who were anti-​immigrant and pro-​war
4. you hired too many straight people and too many republicans to lead a gay organization
5. you had the youth excited in the beginning but you lost most of them by the end
It’s time for queer liberation not assimilation!

Oh hay.
Remember when you talked to the Massachusetts Supreme Court and they saw your side and legalized gay marriage? That was radical!
Oh, but then remember when those crazies from the Catholic Church and the Massachusetts Family Institute and places like that got mad? Then they tried to stop equality by placing a discriminatory amendment in the Commonwealth’s constitution? Which Wikipedia says was «adopted in 1780 and is the oldest functioning written constitution in continuous effect in the world.» That wasn’t cool at all! Kinda mean in fact. And kind of bizarre to try and taint something so progressive with bigotry.
Oh, but then you guys at Mass Equality got even more mad! So you got all the gays and gay friendly people together and you helped this cool guy named Deval get elected. Then you even went to the State Legislature and asked them to help us out too! AND THEN everyone helped and the leaders said, «GA HOME CRAZIES! GITTOWTA HEYAH! AND TAKE YO H8TORADE WITCHYA!»
So now I can get married still. That’s cool, I dig it.
