Day 8

Day 3
So yes, it is day three since the election that took rights away, and no, I’m not over it. I was listening to The Stephanie Miller show this morning, and they were ganging up on Chris for pointing out the irony that more people voted for the humane treatment of animals than voted to protect the rights of human homosexuals. It is only that irony that this queer man finds fascinating. Of course many of those who supported proposition 8 were lied to and believed that it somehow had something to do with teaching children or forcing churches to marry couples that they don’t want to marry, but people the title of the proposition on the ballot was “To take away the rights of same sex couples to marry”, it doesn’t get a whole lot clearer than that; thank you Jerry Brown for trying.
And there is one even more hideous statute that was approved. In
This is a great week for our nation in so many ways, but let us not loose sight of how that greatness is tainted by continued hate of the only minority group that it is cool to hate, the queer community.

State of California: Queer Discrimination Day 2
Wednesday, November 05, 2008
Step to the back of the bus you QUEERS!
I am at once thrilled with the election of Barack Obama, and profoundly sad and ANGRY to be a part of one of the last groups it is okay to not only discriminate against, but it’s okay to codify that discrimination into the Constitution of the State of California. And what makes it doubly difficult to deal with is the fact that exit polling would indicate that only two groups in the state were overwhelmingly for the proposition, those over 65 years old, and African Americans and Latinos for who’s civil rights the gay community has worked to secure. Gee thanks.

I wept last night as I watched the man I believe will actually change the face of this nation, accept the presidency and begin to chart the course of hope. And I wept again this morning in my bed when I heard that over night there had been no movement and it was fairly clear that Proposition 8 would become not just a law, but part of the Constitution of the State of California by a vote of 51% of the people; people who were LIED to about what not passing the amendment would do and people who were LIED to about Barack Obama’s position on the proposition, but his campaign did NOTHING to correct those lies in the closing days of the campaign. In the State of
Civil Unions are a SEPARATE but EQUAL approach to the problem. Why is this acceptable for the GLBT Community but not acceptable for racial minorities? Why are one group’s principals of faith held above another group’s principals of faith in a country that supposedly has a blind eye to religion?
The queer community can not grow in percentage of the vote. Throughout history between 10 and 15 percent of the population is queer. Other minorities in this country have grown in percentage of the vote to further their cause; we are the only group that does not have that avenue available because regardless of what the fundamentalists tell you, we don’t recruit. So we must depend on the heterosexual community “getting it”; getting it that we DESERVE to be protected by the Constitution of the State of
Let's just stop and think how different my own life would have been if at the time of my youth, queer relationships were celebrated with the same regard as heterosexual relationships. I don't think that I would have made the same choices in my life. I think I would have simply found a man who wanted a family, married him and adopted kids. How nice it would have been to feel like the way I love is okay. But now we have made that impossible for yet another generation of our youth. SHAME on us.
