I'm curious how the LGBT members feel about the state of DU [View all]

I’ve been here since the beginning and for me the more things change the more they stay the same. How about you? Any thoughts on how we can enable effective change among our fellow democrats?

If you are an ally it would be interesting to see what you think we could do as well.

IMHO over 95% of the DU has a lot of love for the LGBT community. Best thing is to ignore trolls. Doodley Mar 2022 #5
