This group is for those people who are FED up with being referred to as a MINORity. Note the root word!!! Lets spread the word to others about not using this OPRESSIVE term anymore. We are people of culturally diverse backgrounds and We are NOT minor... Look at the defintion of Minority Group.. I don't know about anyone else but I am not subordinate! A SUBORDINATE group whose members have significantly less control or power over their lives than members of a dominant or majority group

Not good enough!!!
At the Cedar Rapids Public Library, Abbi Swanson wanted to know what the U.S. senator from Illinois would do to help her son, who is gay, gain the same marital protections as heterosexuals.

Obama repeated his stand that he is against gay marriage, but for civil unions that offer the same benefits as traditional marriage. He told about 150 people at the library that he couldn't endorse traditional marriage for gay and lesbian families.

"You want the word marriage and I believe that the issue of marriage has become so entangled -- the word marriage has become so entangled with religion -- that it makes more sense for me as president, with that authority, to talk about the civil rights that are conferred" with civil unions, Obama said. Individual denominations should make the decisions about what to recognize as a marriage, he said.
