Good As You

Wow, the article quoted Melanie Phelps. I've never heard of MassResistance before, but that alone told me all I needed to know. Melanie's writing isn't exactly great, to put it mildly...

Erm. I think put down Phelps instead of Phillips by accident. Although ironically if her last name were Phelps it might be more fitting...

As pissed as I am about these amendments, I can't help but laugh at how increasingly unhinged they're getting.

I couldn't agree more. I've had to tell a few ""Friends"" (double quotes = double warning) that we will never give up, not until we are equal.

The only thing that irritates me more than these anti-gay policies being passed is the amount of attention Prop. 8. is getting because it happens to be in a celebrity loving state.

Seriously, the gay/single parent adoption ban in Arkansas should have been in the spotlight of the media, and gotten the millions to fight it. We're adults, I'm sure we'll survive some bigots for a few years... but these are children getting hurt, being deprived of loving homes. People who deserve a chance to grow up in a stable environment so they can have a good life. How dare they remove many willing foster parents from the system because of their thinly veiled religious bigotry? There's no evidence to show that a gay family is any more inept at parenting than a straight one. Seriously, we need to focus on this more, it's children being hurt here.

aaa,I didn't mean to suggest that I wasn't mad about Arkansas, it does infuriate me. I can't help but think of how many more kids have to suffer in foster care because of this. Then there's the senior citizens in Florida that are going to lose most of their legal protections. Because I live in Arizona, I'm LIVID that prop 102 was even on the ballot, let alone that it passed. I'm upset about prop 8 like all of us are. All I meant was that with all these things passing, I need to find SOMETHING to laugh at in order to supress my desire to take my grandfather's katana to these people's balls.

A katana, huh? I might need to borrow that some time.

I know this... person. I'm loathe to call him human at this point.

Everytime he sees me he holds up eight fingers and then does a thumbs up. I bring this up because I got into an argument with him the other day. He was bringing up the history point too.

Now, I had to point something out to him. History, in fact, is not against gays.

A very, very long time ago, it was the norm. Ancient Rome? Greece? Japan?

It was hardly out of the ordinary for there to be homosexuals. Yes, I admit... marriage was not one of the perks they had, BUT.

It was accepted.

I rest my case.

I didn't mean to make it sound like you weren't (understandably) pissed. I am just as much as the next person. I'm just venting, I wish that the media would make a bigger deal of the adoption bans than they would Prop. 8, since it affects a group of people who can't defend themselves the way we as adults can.

aaa
Why was the rant directed at me then?
