So, this thing is going to happen and our gut instinct is that it ought to happen. The time for careful, cautious strategies is over- it's time for the gay community to embrace a "shock and awe" approach. Each new campaign, whether it fails or not, will act as a battering ram on the door of intolerance. More importantly, our sense is that the gay community can not go through another five years of free-floating frustration. A new ballot initiative will have tangible benefits in community building and organization. Camp Courage's genius is that it's giving civil rights activists the tools to do something tangible.
