I found this article today that further illustrates my point and actually makes a great point… please read and tell me what you think….
I never thought I’d agree with a Hockey Jock… obviously I need to check my attitude at the door.
Understanding builds tolerance, and we find understanding only when we are free to talk about the problem without judgement or hate.
I’ve never seen myself as a activist really, sure I get passionate about things that are important to me but I’ve never felt something moved me enough to actually protest for it… but lately Jesus FUCK! I’m starting to get really pissed off lately about so many injustices in this world… especially all this Gay rights crap!!!
If you haven’t already seen this video please watch it, then keep reading…
I mean seriously!!!! I don’t get what the big fucking deal is… What is it that scares these people so much about Gay people getting married??? or adopting children??? or being alive fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!
The US army and possibly even others, have what they refer to as the don’t ask, don’t tell policy when it comes to Soldiers that they feel may or may not be gay… basically in the US army a soldier that is found to be homosexual, is by law supposed to be dismissed and removed of his or her rank… ???? REALLY!!!! This man is willing to give his life for his country when millions of other people are not and just because he’s gay and open about it, he’s deemed unworthy to fight for his country…. I’m sorry but that is the lowest and most degrading thing I’ve ever fucking heard!
Furthermore this train of thought extends to other countries where being a homosexual is punishable by death… Which is kind of crap considering it can cut into your travel plans… this isn’t just some right winged fuck ups that are gonna bash you for being a gay person, its the government! The people that are supposed to be educated and look out for their peoples best interests, and yet they decree that it’s okay to kill gays!!! I’m sorry but that is seriously fucked up!
I’ve heard the argument from some people that “well why would you want to go some place that they would feel that way about you??? Not everyone is gonna like you, you can’t expect that” True, but this isn’t about having people like me, it’s about being treated like a human being, that I’m actually something of worth, I’m a teacher for fuck sakes! I pay my taxes, I abide by the law (mostly), I do everything that society asks of me and yet it seems that society doesn’t give a flying fuck… Why should I not be allowed to go somewhere in this world just because of my sexual orientation??? They are putting people like me on the same level as a common criminal, like I’m an insect to be squashed because I’m sick and disgusting… I don’t think so!
If I remember correctly less than a 100 years ago women were not allowed to vote in North America because they were deemed to not have the brains capable of grasping concepts as complex as politics… African people were not allowed to enter into marriages with other Africans or Caucasian people… but funny how that’s changed now… People sit here and tell me that I make to big of a deal about this, but honestly I’m sure they are happy as fuck that 60 years ago people made a big deal about not being able to vote, or marry an African person, because now they have their rights affirmed.
And to the people that claim that marriage is a sacred union… fuck off… strangers go on reality shows to marry each other for money… and the divorce rate in North America is threw the roof… so don’t feed me that line…
And further more back to the video, why is that a closeted gay man can go to war to protect his country and the rights of others, only to return to his country and be denied the rights and freedoms that he put his life on the line to protect… What a fucking Fag, eh?

And has a lot of shit went down… so here is a quick recap of the last 3 weeks…
1) Me and Amy had a kick ass American road trip to plan our MC duties for Becky and James’ wedding, which resulted in a booze cruise, photo session at an oil rig complete with flames, and getting free drinks at the pub bc we are all around amazing people…
2) Becky got married!!! But not before we took her out one last time and partied our asses off till 4am the eve of her wedding!!! She wasn’t getting married till 3pm anyway so she had lots of time to sleep and get ready.. lol.. well 3 hours at least… but that was also bc she got locked out of her mother-in-law’s house… apparently by accident… bahahaha
3) Crashed Becky and James’ Honeymoon in Mexico!!! OMG Mexico is fucking amazing!!! It was great to be down there with 2 of my BF’s… SO fucking amazing… Unbelievable scenery, scuba diving!!! Swimming with Sea Turtles, Barracudas, Puffer fish, and a hotter than hot Aussie, which is a rare find in itself!!! Partied in a club that doubled as a live show… a basically anything goes throw down kinda place where you drink till you fall on your face…
4) Visa is still being a fucking pain!!! Still no return date to the UK, hopefully this week will yield some results!!!
5) Got to see my Jacquie again!!! I miss that girl more than I care to admit for fear she thinks i’m gonna stalk her and cut out her hair to make a doll with it… it’s not pretty but it’s the truth… she makes me laughs every time i’m around her and she keeps me sane!!! Especially when she understands my feelings better than most do, 1) because she has a logic and 2) because she’s awesome! Thanks for listening and being on my side!!! <3
Well that’s the quick version, more updates to come soon I’m sure… I have idea’s brewing that need to be served…
Til then, Adios Amiga!
Living in Limbo is only fun in the movies, in reality it just means you get to be broke for an indiscriminate amount of time… :(
