religeous

hi blog.

so, the wacko-ness don't stop.

check it.

Here's a wacko who kidnapped a girl(s?), and loves, loves, loves him some God. Yep. Seriously, here is one good reason I don't want kids. Kidnapping by a crazed religious nut. I can't think of anything worse.

Here's a pastor who thinks gays should be murdered. "Every gay he's known has been a molester." HMMMM. Most straight pastors have limited experiences with openly gay folks. I wonder where he has been hanging out while his young wife raises his brood of starkly white wonderbread children.

Here's a "politician" who thinks that it's a-okay to discriminate against those pesty homersexuals. (said with a snarl and a drawl).


but you know what? Linda Ronstadt is here to save the day. And, that is gonna keep me going today.

bye!

emotional roller coaster & a one-eyed dog

Okay, where do we sign up for the 1st time home buyers support group? Seriously.

You come across an article like this, read the comments, and your heart kind of explodes a little. Maybe renting (and paying for my landlord's Lexus SUV) isn't THAT bad? ARGGGGG!!!!

Oh, and we've could have written this.

anyway...

This video makes me want to sharpen the ends of rainbows and shoot them at these idiots. Lightning bolts!? Where are the volcanoes, tornadoes, and earthquakes the gays are responsible for too?



(don't they look so sad and concerned? maybe they should be more mad and concerned about this, this, this, or this. .)

PS. here are the audition tapes for that shitty video. So, wait...which one is really the doctor!??

And, really, today is pretty shitty all the way around. I had no idea that our staff morale ("morale") breakfast wasn't being paid for by our work, I keep hearing budget cuts, budget cuts, budget cuts (when is one gonna cut me??), and something that seemed hopeful (not a house, something else) may not be as hopeful anymore. sigh. what could make it better?

WINK could make it better. I feel in love with her last night. I really wanted to just take her home on the spot, but Puddin' would be so mad. Anyway...she's on my mind...

today, i'm mad

How can I not be with stories like this, this, and this making their way around.

I've reached the end of my rainbow rope. Leave us alone! Let us live, love, and do crazy gay things like volunteer, travel, and foster and adopt the children that are suffering at the hands of good, christian people.

FOCUS ON THESE FAMILIES, YOU WINGNUTS:

Murdered by her straight stepfather

An 8-year-old killer. With straight parents.

Throw away kids.

People killing each other in Oakland.

No, but instead you spend your money on energy on sucking away people's rights, dignity, and love.

YOU SUCK. You are hateful, sad, evil people. And I wish you no well.


And that is all. for now.

no on H8 march last night

How to capture the feeling of walking down Market Street surrounded by thousands and thousands of people of all colors, ages, and flavors..all of us expressing our anger, hurt, dismay, disbelief that our state, and the people in it, would willingly discriminate and TAKE AWAY our rights...well, I can't really capture that in words. But, I can try: inspiring, motivating, nourishing, validating, powerful, emotional, and loving. (oh, and my sign was a hit)



The Mormon Church is scared. They are frightened. They are "disturbed". And I'm glad. (ARE YOU READING THIS MORMON CHURCH?)
What the hell do they expect? They pour in millions of dollars to a POLITICAL issue and they really thought nobody would notice and fight back? We are fighting back....and we are smarter than they are, and our beliefs are actually based in reality, not in magic undies.

Check this out. Rachel Maddow talking to Princeton Political Professor Melissa Harris Lacewell and race and prop 8. The professor makes some good points. I'm torn, because I think the no on 8 campaign did a really good job with the resources they had, but I think we all learned that we have tons of work to do in minority communities. We assumed that racial minority groups would understand our cause and our fight, and we were wrong. Religion and fear overrode any sense of compassion and understanding. And that needs to change.

Last night on the local news, they talked to Bill May, from Catholics from the Common Good. Of course, he whined and cried about how the gays were unfairly targeting religious groups (waaaaa!!!) and at the end of his whiny sad little speech, he did something very, very interesting. He basically said, "why aren't they targeting the 7 out of 10 black voters who voted Yes on 8?"

See what he did? He totally pointed the finger. They love this shit, those religious bigots. They love to judge, enforce their judgments on others, encourage other groups to judge, put alot of money into taking away others' rights, and then when they are called on it, they start to panic, cry, call foul, and point fingers. It was so blatant!! He was like the stupid kid in the schoolyard that pushed someone down, and in this case, he is pointing to the black kids saying THEY DID IT. It was sickening. The religious bigots love to see the divide of the minorities, and they are encouraging it every chance they can.

Okay, sorry for the rant...but it's been an emotional few days. Lots of anger. Lots of disappointment.
And tons of thinking.

ps. watch this. it's great:
