Paul: I'm sick and tired of being reached out to by the Democrats every four years and then being crapped on once they're elected. I'd like to see the gay community give more challenges to the Dems. Our community is very blindly in their pocket, and they really take our support for granted. It was Clinton, supposedly the most gay-friendly president we've ever had, who started "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." And it was Clinton who signed the Defense of Marriage Act that started all of this amendment crap. Winston: This constitutional amendment is intended to punish the LGBT community, but it's not going to stop there. It's going to hurt unmarried straight couples, too. Paul: Despite the stereotypes about gay people, the reality is that we're not much different from the straight community. What are they afraid of? Winston: Television tends to flaunt the more extravagant side of the LGBT community. There's so much more variety they could show. When it comes to pride parades, what do they show? The leather people... Paul: ... the drag queens. Winston: There's not a lot of focus on everyday Joes and Janes like us.
