"This government and its citizens cannot have it both ways," she says. "Either we are part of this society deserving the same tax breaks as heterosexual couples and our participation in the military is as respected, or we are not. If not, then we must separate from this union and take our tax base with us. Our brothers and sisters at Stonewall stood up united and stopped the constant harassment by police officers. We need to learn from that example and honor their heroic stand by taking our life condition to the next level: freedom from being a political election bargaining chip."
She argues that heterosexuals already treat homosexuals as outsiders. Therefore, this community has the right to break away.
"Since we are not treated as equal members of this society, we have every right to form our own union and take our tax base with us. We can decide which foreign and domestic policies to support. Many scientists out there could use our dollars to search for an AIDS cure, for example. What do you say; are we adult enough or do we need religiously controlled government permission?"
