denelianthis made me cry.
actualy tears running down my cheeks.
i am not gay - does that mean i have to deny the HUMANITY of those who are?
i am ashamed that i am from California. ya know?
if this goes on... (and ha! for a random extra dose of irony and sarcasm, that is the title of a Heinlein novella, which dealt with the US having been taken over by a Theocracy and the civil war fought to free the country FROM that theocracy...) if this goes on... in a few years, my future marriage to Pete will be illegal(again) because we are "interracial". if this goes on, it will be outright illegal to not be straight, and we will see "fag hunts", the modern day version of witch hunts. if this goes on... it will be REQUIRED that everyone conform to christianity, and the jews, muslims, buddhists, pagans, will be hunted and prosecuted. if this goes on... eventually all forms of christianity that are non-evangelical will follow...
If This Goes On. If This Continues, We will turn into just another theocratic tyranny, ruled by the masses, with everything either outlawed or required - it's there, all the warning signs are there. women, people of color, and anyone who doesn't fit "societal norms" will be marginalized, persecuted, prosected... and disappeared.
are you listening, Congress? Supreme Court? Might-As-Well-Be-Already-President Obama?
DON'T TREAD ON ME*
*re-appropriated, and used by me, as a rallying cry to reclaim our Civil Rights

I am so sorry
Date: 2009-01-06 07:54 pm (UTC)i feel your frustration to levels you probably do realize. i am not gay. but the pain and frustration and rage that i feel at those who deny gays their very humanity actually makes me shake sometimes. (it's not too hard to make me cry.)
i just want to grab these people and shout, "hey! stop hating! it's the worst thing a human being can do and it makes the world a place i don't want to live in! please, please, please just take my hand and i will teach you everything i know of hope. because when you hope, you don't have to hate anymore."
and i have cookies.

Date: 2009-01-06 10:08 pm (UTC)i show up as "adult content" becasuse i cuss, and because i say things like "gay" and "lesbian". i am straight - most of my friends are not. so live journal assumes that this is a sex blog, when it's more of a random, personal rants about stupid people, blog.
share the video - i am hoping that when stupid anti-gay people see it, they will become slightly-less stupid and maybe realize that sexual orientation is just a fact about a person, like their hair color or the state they were born in. i DOUBT it will happen, but i can always hope...
