We Want Your Comments
Now you can post comments on Advocate.com. As the leading voice for LGBT opinion, The Advocate wants your opinions too. Let the dialogue begin...
An Advocate.com exclusive posted May 6, 2008

We've added comments to our site, so you can respond to Advocate.com stories -- and each other -- in real time. We're committed to giving our whole community a place to weigh in and be heard on breaking news, articles, opinion, and more.  

One of our most important jobs is to connect LGBT voices, wherever we are.  We may work here, but it's your Advocate.  So make yourself heard.  

HOW TO COMMENT:  When you click on a story title, look for the POST COMMENT and READ COMMENT buttons at top right.  Comments appear beneath the story.

A few ground rules.  Argument and debate are the spice of our LGBT lives as long as we respect each other.  Don't post obscene or abusive messages.  Don't use hate speech on others, any more than you want it used on you.  We reserve the right to delete any post at any time.

    The Advocate is our global magazine, hardcopy or online. Enabling global feedback gives it readers an opportunity to share different opinions and perspectives not otherwise available. Thanks for that opportunity.

    If Michigan's Supreme Court ruled that gay couples are not entitled to things like haelth benefits, will they require heterosexual couple to PROVE they are actually married or just accept their word they are?
