another sad day in a string of sad days

What are they so damn afraid of?

I’m writing, of course, about the constant hateful focus of the Religious Right onto anybody that is different from themselves. Today, Missouri added fear and hate into their state constitution by approving a gay marriage ban. Personally, I’m on the fence about marriage for myself, but I think that I should at least have the option should I want to utilize it. They join Alaska, Hawaii, Nebraska and Nevada in telling me that they do not want me in their midst. I’m now waiting for Louisiana, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Michigan, North Dakota and Ohio to finalize their fearful marches against us.

I realize that while I attended public school and my education is second rate, I’m pretty confident that somewhere along the line I heard the words, ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. Where, in the founding documents of our country does it single me out and say, “EXCEPT for Wade cause he’s a big friggin FAG!” ?

Each day, our sane neighbors to the north seem more and more welcoming to me. Some days, like today, the hateful policies of Saudi Arabia seem more welcoming than my own homeland. At least in Saudi Arabia, I know that they’ll kill me for being gay. Here, they’ll smile to my face, tell me that they hate my “sin”, but that they love me.

Call a spade a spade. You hate gay people that’s why you write laws against us. Don’t hide behind your Religion and tell me that you are trying to save the sanctity of marriage. If you are truly trying to save the “sanctity” of marriage then stone Brittany Spears, stone J.Lo., stone the twice married John Kerry. But leave me the fuck alone and let me love who I love.

on a lighter note… (cause I’m sure you need one)

If you’re ever in Portland Oregon, be sure to check out… “Mini-KISS, one of many troupes of KISS imitators.”…”they get more attention because they’re midgets! In a flip-flop of the KISS image (larger than life shoes, shoulders, tongues, and libidos), Mini-KISS is bringing houses down with their miniature version of the glam monsters. Eerily, Mini-KISS bear an uncanny facial resemblance to the objects of their spoof, and it’s not just the makeup… maybe someone just finally cut Gene Simmons down to size.”
