With my upcoming ceremony, you can figure out for yourself why this would be on my mind…
\nThis last week, not one, but TWO countries legalized gay marriage :scared
\nI know, whatever were they thinking???
\nHow dare they have the nerve to let all of their citizens have equal rights!!!
\nYes, I’m being sarcastic…but it did make me think….isn’t America supposed to be the ‘world leader’? or does that only count when we’re invading other countries? or talking about the size of our ‘weapons’? Because I’m sad to say, lately, it certainly hasn’t been in any other area.
\nReading these almost brought tears to my eyes…This one, was made by the Prime Minister of Spain
\nGay Marriage Speech<\/a>
\nAnd this one…I want to change the word “Canadian” to American and send it to every Right Wing Religious Zealot out there!!
\nGay Population finally gets some fair treatment<\/a>
\nI watched a program on Showtime the other night, called “Same Sex America”, there was a member of congress (I believe) that said no one could tell him or give one example how denying gay’s marriage rights was a civil rights violation :confused11
\nNo, I didn’t break my TV, but I did wonder when he would pull his head out of his ass and gain a little common sense.
\nHow can you call, denying an entire group of people, who make up at least 10% of the population (if not more) the same rights and privileges of everyone else, anything BUT a civil rights issue???
\nThis article in Newsweek<\/a> sums up what I feel so beautifully. Equal rights are not ‘special’ rights, that’s all we’re asking for.
\nOne final thought, with Pride month just coming to a close, and tomorrow being the day we celebrate our countries freedom, don’t you think it’s time we offered those same ‘freedom’s’ to everyone??
\n36 years this fight has been going on<\/a> :shakehead
\nI can’t help but think, if people would just come to the realization that we’re really not all that ‘different’ things would change.
\nImagine a day when you wouldn’t have to worry about how to “explain” it, you could just accept it for what it is. Two people, who care about each other, spending time together, wanting to spend their lives together…how is that any different than any straight couple out there?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
