Dem senators on gay rights
Gay Rights Advocates March on DC
MANY GAY PEOPLE, AND ADVOCATES FOR 'GAY RIGHTS' MARCHED IN THE CAPITAL OF THIS COUNTRY TODAY, PROTESTING, RIGHTLY, THAT AS HOMOSEXUAL MEN AND WOMEN WE HAVE EVEN LESS RIGHTS IN THIS COUNTRY, THE USA, THAN YOU DO, AND YOU KNOW IT.
AS A HOMOSEXUAL MAN MYSELF, I HATE THE WORD 'GAY' FOR SEVERAL REASONS, A COUPLE OF THEM BEING IT IS ONE OF THE LAMEST AND STUPIDEST WORDS ANYONE COULD USE TO DESCRIBE A HOMOSEXUAL PERSON IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
SECONDLY, I'M AGAINST 'GAY MARRIAGE' ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND THAT HAVING IT, FOR HOMOXEXUALS, IS A GREAT WAY OF EVENING THE PLAYING FIELD AS IT EXISTS.
IF YOU DON'T 'GET' THE WORD EQUALITY, HERE IS A SIMPLE EXAMPLE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND: HOMOSEXUALS CAN'T GET MARRIED MOST PLACES, AND CAN'T BE ELIGIBLE LIKE ALL HETEROSEXUALS TO THE SAME ECONOMIC RIGHTS, CHIEFLY PARTNERS' RIGHTS
HETEROSEXUALS SO PRIZE. AS A HOMOSEXUAL, YOU CAN'T EVEN VISIT A LOVED ONE IN A HOSPITAL, THE EXCUSE BEING YOU AREN'T RELATED. ARE YOU RELATED IF YOU ARE A HETEROSEXUAL BEFORE YOU'RE MARRIED? NO, AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO BE MARRIED IN A MESS OF STATES IF YOU ARE!
SO LET'S DROP THE PRETENSE HERE, OK? 'DON'T ASK DON'T TELL' IS A FARCE THAT ACTUALLY HURTS OUR COUNTRY BY EXPELLING OR EXCLUDING QUALIFIED PERSONS, BASED ON BLATANT DISCRIMINATION, WHICH IS OUTLAWED IF IT'S ABOUT RACE, GENDER, OR ANYTHING ELSE. IF YOU ARE AN AMERICAN YOU SHOULD HAVE THE SAME CIVIL RIGHTS AS ANYONE ELSE, BAR NONE. THE SAME GOES FOR HEALTHCARE. AND YOU KNOW IT, WHOEVER AND WHATEVER YOU MAY BE, AND AS STUPID AS YOU MAY BE. NO ONE HERE DISCRIMINATES AGAINST YOU FOR BEING AN IDIOT.
OK, SO I THINK 'MARRIAGE' IS A FAILED, DYING INSTITUTION
SO I THINK WE ARE WEAKER AS A NATION WITH 'DON'T ASK DON'T TELL'
SO I HATE THE WORD 'GAY' AS A DESCRIPTOR
WHAT I DO THINK, HOWEVER, IS THAT NO GOVERNMENT HAS ANY BUSINESS IN YOUR BEDROOM, OR YOUR SEX-LIFE, AND THAT EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD HAVE EQUAL RIGHTS
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING, LIKE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE, BUT WE DON'T HAVE IT, FOR SHAME, I REALLY THOUGHT WE WERE AN 'ADVANCED' PEOPLE, BUT OBVIOUSLY WE'RE NOT. . .
