Gays = Terrorists?

A state rep says GLBT Americans are more dangerous than terrorists. "I honestly think it's the biggest threat our nation has, even more so than terrorism or Islam." That's from an Oklahoma lawmaker's speech about gay people. You heard right. A secret recording has just emerged of State Rep. Sally Kern speaking to a Republican group in January, where she equates both sexual orientation and religion with terrorism. She thought no one was listening. Now hundreds of thousands are. And despite her refusal to apologize, we won't let her get away with this. This recording, first released in a video by the Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund, is all the more troubling given the recent spate of hate violence against gay and transgender youth.

Last month in California, a 15-year-old boy, Lawrence King, who suffered taunting and bullying by his classmates because of his sexual orientation, was killed by one of those classmates - a 14-year-old boy. The week after Lawrence King's death saw the murder of another teen, this time a 17-year-old transgender youth in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Words matter. Especially words from elected officials. Rep. Kern's private feelings towards homosexuality and Islam are one thing. But public statements that encourage disrespect or violence towards those with whom she disagrees are completely unacceptable. Here are a few more completely unfounded claims from her speech: "The homosexual agenda is destroying this nation. No society that has totally embraced homosexuality has lasted for more than, you know, a few decades." "What's happening now is they're going after, in schools, two-year-olds." Kern must be held responsible. Please send this message to your friends and ask them to join you in taking action.

Good Lord, these people are idiots. This is why we need a democrat in office. As much as I don't want Obama as President, I don't want McCain more. These people are trying to strip what little rights we have away. If you haven't registered to vote, DO IT NOW! We can't allow these groups to succeed in making us second class citizens.

Yes SHE Can!!

The Hills are alive... with the sound of victory. Sweet Victory! Miss Hillary won Ohio and Texas last night. I hope she can keep it going. I was watching MBNBC this morning, and the pundents believe that the Democrats will have to pair up Hillary and Obama on the same ticket in order to win. I hope this happens. I am struggling to vote for Obama as most of you know. But if the Dream Ticket becomes reality then I will have no problem voting for him as the nominee if Hillary is his VP. I would rather the opposite happen with Hillary as the nominee, but who knows if that can or will happen. Congrats Hillary!! Take it all the way to the White House. As she said in a speech " It took a Clinton to clean up after a Bush, now it's gonna take another."

VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!!!

No Excuses! If I can go out during a monsoon, with bronchitis, at 6:30 this morning to vote, YOU CAN TOO!!! No matter if you're voting for Hillary or Obama (or Hillary, hint hint), you need to go out an do your part. If not, no complaining about the candidate we get. No Vote No Bitching. Period. So Vote (for Hillary)!!!

And the Best Picture is...

Now that's a movie I'd see.

Interviews, death, and shit!

I have a big interview today with a large online company for an E-commerce Strategy Manager. So naturally I woke up near death. I think I may have a sinus infection. I have been battling sinus problems all winter and I think I need to take something stronger than saline and otc meds. Of course this couldn't happen tomorrow when I have abso-fucking-lutely nothing to do. Hopefully the perseon I an interviewing with will give me brownie points for not cancelling. Oh and I am also watching my friends 2 young daughters after the interview. Great! I have to be perky and active when I feel like curling up in a ball and dying. I'm sure I'll get through it. Men are babies when we're sick aren't we?
