Gays and Lesbians and Equality

Saturday, November 22, 2008
Pretty cool obama was elected. pretty sad people still feel gays and lesbians can be morally or legally disenfranchised.
really sad the separation of church and state falls by the wayside via special interest money (FVC/Mormons). here in sacramento, a big drama surrounding the creative director for music circus, who gave money to prop 8 proponents. GLBT community members up in arms threatened to boycott music circus.radio nitwits decrying the GLBT for their show of consumer power.
i'm saying, it's about time.
no one asked the question: do these religious freaks spend money at gay and lesbian establishments?what you do think?
so it's the obvious hipocracy of the religious right/family values cults that fascinates me, disgusts me.
the subliminal projection of the Right towards gays and lesbians regarding their accusation that the GLBT community lacked tolerance for the religious right numbs the mind.
but then, these are the same people who elected bush (twice) and were seen all a-gog over palin.
about prop 8 - it's against the state constitution. nowhere in our state constitution does it state marraige is between a man and a woman. not even in our country's constitution. not even in the bible does it state marraige is between a man and a woman.
the supreme court is revisiting the outcome of the election and the subject of gay marraige in general. i feel pretty sure they will not overturn their original ruling.
the bottom line for me is: we're all equal. we all pay taxes and participate in american society, right? do gays and lesbians get a special tax rate to compensate for the lack of the benefits/burdens/rights and responsibilites of citizenship? or a tax credit like disabled or blind people do?
i'm just wondering...
