The oldest 32 posts are up – though election day 1992

[solarbird]

I’ve got the annotated Oregon Anti-LGBTQ constitutional amendment – Measure 9 – post series entirely up, all 32 posts, ending the day after election day 1992. If you’re into this history, and you want to see how exactly nothing about what they do or say has changed, start with the first post of this entire blog, then read forward.

And once again, I remind you: while we didn’t win every battle, we did win the war. You can tell they know it because after fuming for a while, they’ve launched a new war, this time saying “okay, we can’t win democratically, so fuck the republic, we’re just fascists now.” It’s a massive admission of failure and weakness.

But the joke’s on them: they were always weak failures, because they were always fascists.

And we beat them the last time they tried this, and we can do it again. No matter how bad it looks now, and I assure you, it is bad now… it wasn’t any better back then. Hell, the Seattle Times was still using “Christian” as a synonym for “good,” and that’s a tiny example, but it’s a pretty goddamn relevant one… and we still won.

I think that’s a very important message for a lot of people right now. Learn it, know it, hold on to it.

It’s just like the old song says.

We did it before, and we can do it again. And we will do it again.
