I should have voted my conscience!

President-elect Obama has picked Rev. Rick Warren to deleiver the innvocation at his inauguration. Rick Warren’s vocal support for California’s Proposition 8, as well as his public statements equating homosexuality with pedophilia and an array of other anti-LGBT sentiments — his selection for such a visible and prominent role in the inauguration is insulting and hurtful to LGBT people.

The choice of Rev. Warren also belies Obama’s calls to religious leaders to own up to the homophobia and racism that has stood in the way of combating HIV/AIDS in this country, as well as public calls for religious leaders to open their hearts to their LGBT family members, neighbors and friends.

I knew Obama would not support LGBT issues once he was in power. Once a homophobe, always a homophobe. I shouldn't be surprised. After he declared that he was opposed to gay marriage, I knew the gay community couldn't rely on him. I should have stuck to my guns and wrote in Hillary Clinton when I voted. But the Sarah Palin influence changed my mind. At least with McCain/Palin we knew where they stood on gay issues and wouldn't be dissapointed when they didn't deliver. My hope is that Obama takes enough heat from this controversy that it makes him keep his promises. Keep this in mind, Mr. Obama, you wouldn't have been elected without our support. We don't need 4 more years of Bush antics in the White House. Based on this, I don't have much faith that things will be any better for us.

It's Britney Bitch!!!

Yeah!!! Finally!!! Britney's Back and she's coming to Columbus.
Naturally we are going, as are most of the queens in C-bus. Womanizer womanizer your're a womanizer baby. You just don't get profound lyrics like that anymore. What makes the comeback concert even better is the Pussycat Dolls open. Ohh, I smell a gay ol time coming.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Not feeling up to it I guess. We are both feeling better finally. Who would have thought that losing a dog would be more traumatic than losing a person. But for us it has been. I had a dream about Weber a couple nights ago, which just happened to be 2 months since we put him down. In the dream I got to pet him. I think that was his way of telling me that he is OK. I think I can move on now. That was all I needed to know from him, that I did the right thing and that he is OK. He answered me finally.

I will be blogging more. I have a nice rant about Obama picking right wing religious zealot homophobe Rick Warren to do the invocation at the inauguration. Needless to say, I was right about why I shouldn't have voted for him. But that's for another blog.

In the meantime.... hit me baby one more time!!!!

I can't believe it's been a month

Today it has been one month since Weber died. I can honestly say it's easier, but it still hurts. I think about him everyday and miss him terribly. Thankfully Baxter is doing alot better. He's beginning to act like the old Baxter again, fun, playful, full of life. He still has his moments of lethargy and depression, just like Tim and I do, but he is going to be fine. I'm sure we will be as well, it is just taking us a bit longer.

We are discussing whether to get another dog or let Baxter be an only child. I think we are leaning for only child as of now, but that may change. A puppy is definitely out of the question. Laura brought up a good point that it would kill Baxter to have a puppy take away attention from him. And she is 100% correct. He seems to be adjusting to his new role as head protector and I don't want to change that. Thank God we have him. This past month would have been even more unbearable without him. I had a talk with Baxter as few weeks ago telling him he wasn't aloud to leave us for a long time. I am going to do everything in my power to see that it happens.

Here are my 2 guys sleeping together.

Prop 8 Rally Saturday Nov. 15

Join all of us in fighting this injustice to our community. We will both be there tomorrow. Let's fight to for our rights. Hopefully President-elect Obama will make a call for action and end this discrimination.

GObama... History is made!

I am proud to say that I voted for Obama. I still don't agree with his stance on gay marriage. However after seeing his victory rally last night, I am 100% behind him as president. I am glad that we as a country elected a African-American man. The country is going in the right direction. Next is electing a woman (just not Sarah Palin), then maybe, one day, a gay man or woman will become President. After witnessing this historic event last night, I can say that I am proud of this counrty. We got it right this time. Oh and only 75 days til Bush is out of office. Another reason to celebrate.
