Into the closets and out of the streets, but wait until November

Share

Years ago, the sounds of “out of the closet and into the streets” ranged loudly in the Gay community.  Now it should be “into the closets and out of the streets!” The National Association of REALTORS(R) found out that the calendar says it is 2010 and decided that they will bring up an amendment to its bylaws to not discriminate against gays buying a home.

Amazing that it took them this long, but the unreal thing is that they have to wait until NOVEMBER to get it approved.

What is with this lobbying group that I am a dues paying member of in two states? This is so embarrassing that they even needed to do this in the first place and second that it can’t be done by acclamation by their members or Board of Directors.

Doesn’t NAR understand there is something called PHONES let alone the internet where they can organize a conference call and get it done right away? Or are they thinking there would be opposition?

I am calling for immediate approval by the President of NAR to make this an absolute- immediately.

Oh, I forgot, she is from Arizona and they are too busy making sure that anyone brown gets their papers checked. They’ll get to the gays next.

I suggest a “Call to Action” that bombards NAR headquarters by phone at 1-800-874-6500 demanding a Presidential proclamation today!
