I remember family members talking about the Mississippi Freedom Democrats who were told to wait, your issues will be addressed eventually. Why should I say no, my issues as a Black man must be addressed, but my issues as a Bi, Black man should wait years and years, if not for eternity?

Well, at least not in <strong>this</strong> country. Canada is looking better and better every day. I totally agree with you T.
