Well, there’s a regular pleathora from the huff. First, we have a city
employee calling her friend gay while testing an email. What a
classy broad. Offended by that? Yeah. Me too. At least she was “reprimanded
quickly”. The employee claimed they meant gay in the old-timey happy way. Sure.
Next on the
docket, a youtube video “Rated T For
Tolerance”, the most misnamed movie since The Neverending Story. A teenager
raps (badly) about how being gay will get you sent to hell, that it’s a choice,
and not to believe the media. It breaks my heart to see a fellow Christian so
misled. Jesus taught Love. God is LOVE. Why can’t people understand this?
Chris Sprouse, Superman artist, is leaving the
company since noted anti-gay author Orson Scott Card is coming on to write a
story. I’m a Marvel Girl myself, but c’mon DC. Get with the times. At
least they’re not condemming Sprouse for leaving. Granted, they’re not dropping
Card either…
Right in my backyard, a lesbian
couple’s fight for adoption rights has become a fight for marriage rights. Sadly, my
state has had a ban since 2004. This however, could be the turning point. My
future brother in law is only not married to his boyfriend because of this ban.
It would lift my heart to see it overturned.
A florist
is refusing to do her long-time customer’s wedding due to
“Her relationship with Jesus.” What hurts is that this wasn’t some random
florist. This was a woman the couple had been buying from for years: they
considered her a friend. This is the worst kind of bigot: the kind that refuses
to see what is right in front of them. Oh, but she’ll take their money, no
problem.
Religion gets no better when a gay
youth is exorcized by his parents. When will people learn THIS CRAP
DOES NOT WORK? It’s the year two thousand and FRIGGAN THIRTEEN! Why not grab
some leeches and suck it out? Or is sucking to queer for you?!
To end on a high note, Mexico gets a gold star for declaring anti-GLBT
speech not protected speech. As a patriot, I’ll disagree with you, but you
still have the right to your speech. As a supporter of peace and love: YAY!
Bueno!
