Tell it like it should have been, Rachel!

I love Rachel Maddow. She is the voice this country needs. If only our president could have said this when he spoke to the American public, we could at least feel a little better about the situation in the Gulf of Mexico.

I have to say this is one of the funniest things I have seen in some time. Yes, we have some Mormon friends, but I don’t see them running to California and giving their money to stop gays and lesbians from having a life! None in the revolution…and none were founding fathers. LOL

Houston gay teen bashing

People wonder why gay people have such a hard life and they want some sense of apology from society. We do what we are expected and we live our lives behind a curtain so that everyone else feels comfortable. But in the case of a teenage boy in Houston, TX, it wasn’t that simple. He is an out gay teen, proud to be who he is. But now, suffering because of the stupidity of some other teenage boys, thinking they were gonna prove a point. It’s times like this that make me wish some of the people that taunted me growing up could have met a brick wall…face first. Very hard.

Take a minute of your time and go by http://www.gayamericanheroes.info/ and see what’s going on with the Rainbow Memorial, A National Memorial to Celebrate their Lives. There have been too many people killed because of their lives. People, in general, are as wild as beasts roaming around the jungle. It takes teaching and compassion, something that isn’t found in abundance these days, to get people to understand that the GLBT community is not full of child molesters, drug addicts, and sexual deviants. We need to do all we can to get our message out there for the world to hear. We’re not aliens. We’re your mothers and fathers, your aunts and uncles, your brothers, sisters, and cousins. We’re your teachers, doctors, pastors, and government officials. But what we want most of all is to be your friends.
