Stars Ask President Obama to Legalize Gay Marriage

Stars ask Obama to legalize gay marriage.

 

This is a copy of the letter 32 celebrities have sent to President Obama as a part of the “Say I Do” campaign.  President Obama has sent loud messages lately that discrimination of LGBT will not be tolerated.  Our President hears us and we cannot let our voices fade!  Thank you to these 32 people that happen to be celebrities, some gay, some straight for sending this letter!  It is getting better!

Standing-room only at RI gay marriage hearing

Standing-room only at RI gay marriage hearing.

 

Prayers are with the Baker-Tevyaw FAMILY!  Everyday loving couples unjustly lose inheritance because they are being denied their human rights!   This has so little to religion.  This is about the equal benefits being denied to lifelong couples because they are not allowed to be married.  It is absurd to think that gender has anything to do with marriage.  Where does the love come into the picture?

Opponents you are sad sad hate filled people with sick excuses for being bigots.  No one is bullying you.  Keep USING God as your vice I’m sure He’s thrilled you use His name in HATE!  SHAME ON YOU! SHAME ON YOU! SHAME ON YOU!

My loving LGBT community there is so much proof in this article that we are being heard.  There is A LOT of reasons to know it gets better.  We must continue to STAND IN OUR TRUTH!  We must never be defeated!  We must continue our fight for EQUALITY!   We will win!

Does it Matter How We Have Sex?

The Maryland gay marriage bill died without a final vote Friday.  It broke my heart because I was sure that this bill would make the 6th state to recognize and perform equal marriage rights.  Representatives in favor of equal rights to all citizens said they would try again next year.  Sadly, NOM believes this day was a victory for marriage, and are proud to deny rights to people.  The fact that this hate spewing group exists in America, sickens me.

The same tired excuses were thrown around Friday as to why same-sex couples do not have the right to marry.  Yet none of these excuses for hate add up to logical reason.  My favorite is “couples of the same gender can’t reproduce”.  So, big deal.  How many straight couples cannot or do not want to have children.  You going to take away their right to marry as well?  The funniest “gay men can only have anal sex”.  BAHAHAHAHA!  Fools!  Any idea how many straight couples have and enjoy anal sex?  Also, there is oral sex which is also enjoyed by many straight couples as well.  Why does how a person has sex with their spouse determine their right to marry?  It doesn’t.  If sex life detirmined right to marriage all these people that don’t have oral or anal sex, DENIED!  Reason – BORING and PRUDE!  Another “marriage is a man and a woman”.  I find it interesting that people that have done such a magnificent job proving they can handle the sanctity of marriage are suddenly capable of  defining it.  Did they learn this from their 1st, 2nd, or 3rd (some 4th, 5th, 6th…) marriage?  Or maybe the people they were having affairs with?  From the hookers they paid to sleep with them told them?  OR maybe maybe it’s all the happy male/female marriages that exist (sarcasm).  Think about how many straight people you hear say “I’m never getting married.  It’s a trap.”?  So what makes total fu*k ups on a subject such experts?  *Crickets*  Interesting isn’t it.

This bill truly did upset me today to the point that I didn’t even want to write about it.  I considered moving to another country since this one doesn’t want LGBT people.  I was furious to know that another year would go by without equality for LGBT.  Then the more I thought about this the more empowered I became.  Do you know how much planning can be done in a year?  How much this loving, caring, first class group of citizens can achieve in 1 year.  They may have knocked us back, but they will NEVER knock us down.  We are human beings that deserve to have rights just as any other living breathing person does.  I will dedicate myself to this cause.  Here and now I promise that I will do everything I can think of to do more than my part to get us the rights we deserve!  I will not be quiet, I will not run away to another part of the world, WE will have our rights and there isn’t a DAMN thing any hateful, cruel, bullying, bigot on their 3rd or 4th marriage can do about that.  We got this!

LOVE WILL ALWAYS WIN!

IT GETS BETTER!

“This Is Not Legislation … This Is Lives”

Today NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo held a closed door meeting with leaders of many gay advocacy groups.  Gov. Cuomo has decided to put the rights of citizens at the forefront.  Advocacy leaders described Mr. Cuomo’s words as unexpectedly forceful and passionate.  He instructed his aides to give their FULL attention to legalizing same-sex marriage in NY.   It does seem as though Gov. Cuomo is using all his political muscle to ensure equal rights to all NY’s citizens.  He is taking this issue very personally.  He is quoted by New York Times as stating “to me this is more than a piece of legislation, this is about the lives of people I have known for many years, who currently live without the rights to which they are entitled”.  Bravo Gov. Cuomo!  IT GETS BETTER!

Calling Out Religious Bull! Courtesy of Prince County Maryland ministers.

I am enraged at the actions of the Prince George County Maryland “ministers”.   Tuesday these churches came to push against the passing of Maryland’s marriage equality bill.  They gave the same old tired arguement that God says being gay is an abomination, (BULLSH*T), and the Bible says “homosexuality is a sin”, (BULLSH*T).  One loving genius man of God said he “welcomed homosexuals in his church (along with other deviants), but would NEVER perform a same sex marriage”.  He of course is entitled to his opinion but so am I and my opinion is sir you are a bigot asshole.  I will never apologize for saying that either because I CLEARLY mean it.  The spew of BULLSH*T continued with the opinion that “the churches’ definition of marriage is a man and woman”.  BULLSH*T they change their definitions of every other “belief” to suit their needs and ways to make untaxed money, so change the definition of marriage.

OK, so, these churches don’t support my LGBT community, and my life will go on.  I believe in God and I don’t need some moron in a suit or jackass in a robe to tell me what God said.  I have a great relationship with a LOVING GOD!  Honestly I feel very sorry for these so called religious people for fuc*ing up a pure love from God and filling it with HATE and FEAR.    I don’t need your hate and neither does the LGBT community.  This is a community filled with LOVE.  Fighting for LOVE.  So carry on spreading HATE, geniuses.

Another thing that makes this pointless is there is a separation of church and government in this country, THANK GOD!  There are more reasons for couples wanting to marry other than recognition of the church.  Shocking I know!  The more important reasons are spousal health care, inheritance tax, and OH FAMILY!  You know all those foster kids and pro-life babies put up for adoption a lot are now being raised by 2 loving parents that happen to be of the same gender.  SO BULLSH*T to your “family” arguement!

From this day on I will not associate myself with any “christian” establishment because they are full of self serving bigoted HATE there is nothing left of God’s love.  You so called people of God suck and He will still love you for spewing HATE and LIES in His name.

Churches want to help this country start paying taxes and stop brainwashing people into nonsense.   Leave LOVE alone.  You “christians”, know nothing about love.  I have ZERO respect for any of you that can vomit HATE and pretend to represent God.  You are all bullies with blood on your hands!  You make me ill, and I will be praying to my LOVING God for your hate filled souls.

A big SHOUT OUT to those accepting churches and the honest men and women that represent the true loving God.  LGBT brothers and sisters continue to STAND IN YOUR TRUTH hate does not define us, LOVE DOES!  THANK YOU GOD FOR MAKING ME A LESBIAN!  I am proud and so is He that I refuse to live a lie for anyone!

Love Story Time

A couple was in their 20s when they met.  Each had gone to college got their respective degrees and made a successful professional life.  They went through all the highs and lows of life.  Through the happy and sad they made it and watched a lot of their friends marry and re-marry and remarry and remarry.  Their union stood the test of time.  They retired each earning and saving millions of dollars.  At the age of 84 one became sick.  With a body filled with illness and a heart full of love one passed away leaving the other behind for the first time in 60 plus years.  The couple never had children and all of the estate was left to the other remaining partner.

Never accepting the life of their sibling the deceased partner’s sister came and took the living partner’s inheritance away and there wasn’t anything that could stop her.  At 80+ years old the living partner lost 1/2 of what they had owned at the time of their partner’s death.

Why?  Where were the laws to help this now elderly person?  Oh, wait, this was a same-sex couple.  In this country this is what happens everyday to life long loving couples, simply because they are not legally allowed to marry.  The same right that straight couples use, abuse, and take advantage of sometimes multiple times in their lives but same sex couples cannot do this even once.  Why?

Progress must be made.  We must have marriage equality to protect ourselves!  We are not second class citizens.  Organizations that “protect” marriage, I challenge you to if you are indeed protecting marriage, accept same-sex couples because we LOVE.  Marriage is about LOVE not sex, or what’s between someone’s legs.  It’s not about reproducing there are plenty of male/female couples that cannot or choose not to have families but are still allowed to be married.  What are you protecting?
