Mr Huey notes early in his comments that "it was so nice to find a place where we can talk about gays and guns without judgment". I will note in return that, first, his statement presupposes that gay people are not eligible to be part of his Radical Middle (as objects, we are something to be talked about, not with), and, second, that using CCL meetings to freely share opinions about "gays" contradicts our Value of Focus (see the first entry of the page https://citizensclimatelobby.org/about-ccl/values/).

I would not recommend showing this video to somebody from the LGBT community if I wanted them to feel comfortable coming to a CCL meeting.

Nick, I thank you for your passion and concern. The tension and stress created by this era of partisanship is difficult no matter the political affiliation. Larry P
