THE " Oh Lord, Not Now!" NAYSAYERS - Mixner Responds to National Equality March Critics

from David Mixner.com

"There is a new chapter within the LGBT civil rights movement that can only be described as the "Oh Lord, Not Now!" movement.

"These well meaning, hard-working and intelligent folks want a very neat time-lined, totally safe and predictable movement. One where, as a community, we do not publicly move until we are assured of victory. They don't want us to venture from a proscribed game plan that mostly originates out of a Washington-based political strategy to gain our freedom. They live in fear that we will move too quickly, make someone uncomfortable and put our political friends in a tough spot. Afraid to risk defeat, they believe we have to make everyone like us and be on our side. Most amazingly they seek the approval of others instead of insisting that others have to liberate themselves from their own long held myths in order to receive this marvelous gift that our community brings."
