DEMOCRATS SHAME DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING WITH IDENTITY POLITICS

Identity politics goes against everything Dr. King believed in. When I was visiting various universities to speak to then gay and lesbian groups a common theme I would hear. "I want to be a pediatrician."  I would ask "what is keeping you from being a pediatrician?"

I would tell them that gay millionaires were being used to fight for gay rights.  I would tell them I had a very successful law practice and every judge, and every opposing counsel know exactly who I am. 

This was a myth put out there by self-anointed leaders who were taking their money.  Then I would hear, "I have no right to be in the hospital room with my partner." I would respond, "where are you hearing this garbage?" 

I would bring with me the various documents they needed to execute to obtain nearly the same rights of every other married couple.  I say nearly because federal programs did not recognize gay couples.

My ex and I had a medical power attorney.  During both of his hospitalizations. I worked with the doctors.

Nothing in the law barred use from disposing of our estate as we pleased. My entire estate is disposed the second various beneficiaries can present my death certificate.  There will be no probate. 

I would explain to them until they gave themselves self-worth, they would not have any sense of self-worth. 

Yes, identity politics were needed in a form which allowed us to seek our rights.  But given the advances, it is too much. I am personally annoyed there is an entire month for Gay Pride but only one day for veterans, or those who died in service. The people do not understand why this is.

Here is the deal, I do not care which group you represent, if you struggle to care for your family then you should be united with every other group with the same problem.  But you are not because we divide ourselves by subgroups within divisive identity groups. 

THE DEMOCRATS HAVE ABOLISHED DR. KING'S DREAM OF BEING JUDGED ON THE CONTENT OF OUR CHARACTER, BY EMBRACING IDENTITY POLITICS

TO BE CLEAR, TODAY IS DR. KING'S DAY. I WILL NOT SOIL IT WITH POLITICS OR  EVENTS THE DAYS EVENTS.
