Gay Rights & Gay Marriage

Where in the world is Waldo? He's on his Honeymoon with Wilfred of coarse!

           Besides religious leaders whom are stuck in their brainwashed ways; why are people so up in arms with us wanting what they already have? It's making me crazy! Equal rights just like equal opportunity why the hell not? Listening to the Naysayers I would say it seems to be fear driven. The unknown is scary. But if you get properly informed, isn't it less scary? Haven't there been enough mistakes in human history for us to stop making them? There was the plight of the African Americans,  there was women's rights and freedoms & now naturally it's the GLBT's.
            We are a long way from being called not normal...and that offensive word should be stricken from the dictionary and possibly replaced with standard. Being born Queer is no longer considered a mental illness. Heteros work, we work, Heteros have family's, well so do we, some have kids, we are just as nurturing parents as anyone if not more so as we know the public eye is on us scrutinizing everything so we may sometimes feel like we have to do more for our kids(It's been documented). Some believe in the institution of marriage others don't, so be it. Let "God" whomever he or she is be the ultimate judge and jury not the F'ing Pope, his worshipers and the others! Get with the program people, it wasn't just man's Greed that started wars it was also man's RELIGION! I'm not saying GLBT's are at war but we have to fight to make things right weather people are tired of hearing about it or not. It has been years in coming.

Pink money:
                    Learned this term a few years back and it is so appropriate! The money a Gay citizen earns, the taxes they pay, where and on what they spend their money, including the Gay tourists that are attracted here and spend their money here is Pink(Gay)Money for argument's sake. See the point here? You spend your money and pay taxes for services but you are not allowed to have the same benefits as the Heteros!
 Natural evolution....
                            I like this definition I heard recently that Homosexuality is natures response to overpopulation. It can be taken in many ways but I prefer to take it lightheartedly and say yep, they are right, there is noway in hell Gays or Lesbians will figure out how to have kids limiting the human production chain....Really, natural evolution? Why bother looking for a pleasing so called scientific title to please the masses. It is a gene period. It's like fixing something that isn't broken...

I often look back at Black history and their struggle for justice and respectfully now there is Martin Luther King day in the states. One day hopefully there will be a National Canadian Gay day honouring all those whom fought their way for us through our history. There are so many people before me that helped pave this "Yellow Brick"road for me and my fellow Gay brothers and Lesbian sisters. More research has to be done by myself on the subject. I would love to work on a project of education for school children that feel different and make them feel that they are OK. The Bullying is harsh and now high tech and it can change how you see the world but it will get better. Not because some politicians feel they did some good making an - "It gets better campaign" - when they have no clue of the gravity of the situation. But because we, the older Gay community have been through somewhat the same thing and managed to get ahead. We have to stick together and believe in ourselves.
