Political Rant Week

Day #3
Topic: LGBT rights, and why they deserve them.


Today I'm going to start touching on various human rights issues...and you better believe I'm going to talk more about it! Anyway, as most know I live in California - one of the most liberal states (sometimes), and most know about the Proposition that was unfortunately passed in November.

Prop. 8 (which banned same-sex marriage) passed by 53% (or somewhere in there). During the campaign I was VERY tempted to go around my neighborhood and tear down all the "Yes on 8" signs. What right do people have to take away rights of another? Interracial marriages were once banned but that got turned over because it was UNCONSTITUTIONAL - which is what the California Supreme Court ruled in this- so why was it even on the ballot if the CA SC declared it so? I'll tell you why - and be warned I might offend :)

It was on the ballot because these right wing nut cases are trying to control how OTHER PEOPLE LIVE THEIR LIVES - YET again. How does two women or two men affect their lives? Are they so paranoid that if it passed their spouses would automatically turn gay?!?! OH NO!!! or - Heaven forbid- their children would....turn gay? OHHHHH NOOOO!!! Because homosexuals are sexual deviants who go about raping, and converting your little Billy into something FAB-U-LOUS *snaps fingers* well that's part of it...they're afraid and paranoid. Another part has to do with what a FICTITIOUS BOOK says - (and for the record the bible only talked about gay men...never says anything about Lesbians - YOU GO FOR IT GIRLS!!!) see, this is why they separated church and state because shit like this happens and its all fun and games until someone gets hurt.

The United States prides its self as being a "free" nation and how people get to live freely - get to pick what schools they go to, colleges, who they like - fall in love with, marry, but if you're gay well you're shit out of luck because of what some evangelical morons have to say.

After prop. 8 was passed I was shocked and extremely angry, HOW DARE the religious right or anybody tell ANYONE who they can and can't marry or love. It's sickening. They should be ashamed of themselves- FOR SHAME. They go about preaching love and acceptance yet, are so fucking judgemental towards people they know NOTHING about. Hopefully within the next couple of months the CA Supreme Court will rule ONCE AGAIN that it is unconstitutional to bar homosexuals from marrying.
