also, there's the fact that there are no partner rights for homos ... and our hate crime laws don't cover hate crimes against homos. etc.

edit: it's not self-deprecation. i'm not putting myself down because i'm an american. in fact, i hate hearing anti-american jokes ... but i get that the anti-american sentiment is rooted in reality because of our ignorance in arrogance. rather than self-deprecation, it's a frustration with this administration that has failed us and and with an insular society.
