After I wrote my “Apologies to atheists” post last week, a nice and very smart fella by the name of Michael Krahn suggested that I look into Digital Journal to publish a few of my postings.
After receiving a lot of personal outside e-mails on my post about gay rights, I decided to combine that with my latest rant about Elizabeth Edwards using gay rights as a new issue (since attempting to roust Ann Coulter failed) to gain more popularity for her husband (who was happy to run along John Kerry 3.5 years ago who vocally opposed gay marriage).
In any case, I got a few reads on Digital Journal and received a mini-award this morning. Nothing too big, but I am happy to share it with my best blogging-friends.
The article mentioning the weeks best submissions stated the following:
“Also worth noting was another Digital Journal rookie who made a splash with a thoroughly researched piece on the liberal view of gay rights. GayConservative takes home this week’s TopPolitics Award for letting his opinions fly in a post also steeped in facts. He proclaimed some bold statements, such as “All evidence proves that the goal of the Democratic party remains to keep blacks and gays in a sick-victim state to serve at their electoral pleasure.” Thought-provoking conclusion, GayConservative, and no matter where readers stand, they should realize it’s important to read a post that dives deep into an issue that will likely be at the forefront of the presidential debates in 2008.”

Great post! Well-said. You touched on Clinton’s half-assed “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” policy, but let’s not forget what a betrayal it was to the gay community after all of Willie’s lip service to gays prior to his election.
The GOP has a long way to go on gay issues (that’s one reason you and I are here), but the “Party of Gay People” offers almost as little. If I’m not wrong, Kucinich is the only Dem running who supports gay marriage. It’s amusing that so many in our community look to the Dem Party as their salvation. They have as almost as much work as we do – the difference being that the left has to deal with hypocrites intent on subjagating a base.
Oh, Steve! I’m so proud and excited for you! This is great news! You’re going to make a huge splash (not that you haven’t already) in the bloggosphere. People will be DIGGing from your site before too long!
