Also a worthwihile cause! Prius drivers and the LGBT community. Incidents of hate crimes, sexual violence and abuse are more prevalent when gay's drive a Prius.
Are events/bars/restaurants/bookstores/organization within these mysterious LGBT "communities" on another planet? I had no idea that there were separate LGBT zones where state/federal access laws weren't applicable. Access to disabled people, REGARDLESS OF SEXUAL ORIENTATION, is an unfortunate thing that should be addressed. How many heterosexuals, Parasite, are disabled in the U.S.? Instead of a separatist approach based on sexuality, the needs of the disabled people as a whole should be looked at.
