love is love

Stripping away rights, under a social and moral pretext.

Dissolving a union made for the sole purpose of expressing devotion to another.

When will you fight?

When will you look beyond difference?

When can you put aside the silly little things that bother you so badly about another, to stand up for them?

Under the guise of religion “of love”, you have been fooled.

You quote scripture yet when will you practice what you preach?

When the faceless masses go after you?  Or your child?

What will it take?

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I was not a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

In a fit of beyond surprising (not to mention ridiculously hilarious) there is some talk on the interwebs of (I am not kidding) “gay terrorists“. Now, I’m sorry but SERIOUSLY???

Okay, I’m a blogger so by no way are we known for our in depth reporting, seriousness, or anything besides being “teenagers in pajamas” (something which I’d like to add thank you!).  Yet, I dug deep (read: googled it) and found this incriminating evidence that there is indeed a gay terrorist cell!

Guilty of such crimes against humanity as (get this!) disrupting a church service and (so hard to continue) yelled at people!  I know! I mean hell, all those other terrorists just blew up building- These gay terrorists are frikken DISRUPTIVE!  zomg!

Okay now, back to lands of reality now.  From the website:

Bash Back! Raises Hell at Anti-Queer Mega-Church

The Mount Hope Church is a deplorable, anti-queer mega-church in
Lansing, Michigan. The church works to institutionalize transphobia and
homophobia through several repulsive projects including organized “ex-gay”
conferences and so-called “hell houses”, which depict queers, trannies and
womyn who seek abortions as the horrors. Mt. Hope is complicit in the repression
of queers in Michigan and beyond.

So the “terrorists” (hah!) had the nerve to do unto others what others did unto them.  Oh I see.. That makes them terrorists?  Christians moral outrage naturally ensued.  Now, that alone is an unpleasant experience, what with the sending me to hell and all (been there, gotten that), and them telling GLBT people of the fiery wrath that awaits them in the “infernos of hell”.  Fun.

Honestly, why should it surprise anyone?  At all?  GLBT have been treated like crap, and just took it for so long.  They are finally rising up, dusting themselves off, and get this- demanding equality.  Remind me of something, almost like it happened a few years ago.  That section of the population finally got respect too.. Hmm, now who was that?

Oh yeah- CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS!

You see, human beings as different as we seem, aren’t.  The human race will only take so much before they stand up for what they believe in.  “The will of the people” doesn’t include taking civil liberties away from whatever groups put others panties in a bunch.  Big deal,  a guy and a guy, or a girl and a girl.

How does that lead to half the bs spewed out?!

-Face it, fighting against gay marriage is a battle  that is truly doomed to fail.

-They will be able to marry, and be happy and.  Your “moral outrage” will just be a frikken joke.

You get to read my ever so fine complaints, nodding silently and understanding, The fact is, I get it!

Occasionally, you post up comments letting me know how you feel, how mean and bitchey I am, (out of LOVE!) and we kiss and make up.  That’s why I love you my readers! Then again, sometimes you tell me I’m *gasp* right.  My ego thank you for that.

Okay, if anyone has some interesting topics for me to blend and mold into my wonderful style of writing- Let me know.  I’d be happy to be lazy I mean, write about what you want.

I’ve been leaning towards a slightly different angle on that one.  Here, I will continue on my usual angry/ snarkfest with a side of actual news.

That is all…

Well through a very careful deduction, gays are apparently the most evil thing in the world. I just found that out too. Go figure.

I don’t really “get it” but you know who does? That’s right California. Yep, they “get” moral fiber there. Those wacky Californians with their Prop 8′s really get it.

…and more?

Granted that is quite possibly the most obnoxious but awesome Cheech and Chong reference ever.  I had to sneak it in.  I would be venting like an insane something or other at the moment if I weren’t in such a good mood, and I have nothing to really vent on.

The closest thing that I can even think of right now is the general consensus that I might be going to hell, but that’s neither here nor there.  Considering I find the thought both funny and ridiculous, I don’t think think that will get to me too badly.
Out of a general curiosity, the Phelps (yeah, those Phelps, the God hates everyone for somehow being gay ones) how are they reacting to our soon to be Commander in Chief?  I’ve been looking, granted in this instance looking means I just this second wondered a bit.  I don’t think I can handle looking at Papa Phelps at the moment.  He frightens me, he looks like a zombie.  To be honest, I think he just might be the zombie poster child.  Yikes. I guess silly, pointless, and overall quite delusional hatred isn’t really a good beauty regimen.

Speaking of delusion.  What the hell is wrong with you California?  You are one seriously whacked out state.    You voted to not let people get married due to it being against the “Social Norm”?  Yeah, shove it California.  Seriously you guys have the frikken terminator as your leader.  The most loons per capita (a statistic I just made up this second, granted that is taking into account the fame trash you have there).

Then again I guess I totally get the sanctity of marriage for straights…

heh.

There are now some seriously pissed off people. No, not due to the fact that Obama won, or even some race relations type thing. Nope, none of that.

They have nothing to complain about now. Nothing.
Bush is going out, Republicans lost control already of the Congress, what the hell is an angry lib going to complain about now?

Okay, okay I am a lib. I do bitch, but it’s not because I’m lib.
That is sheer coincidence. I also think, you know, things suck.

Although curiosity begs this question:
Can people finally get over themselves? No more insane people making us foam at the mouth over things like Don Imus? Please?

Or am I hoping too much here?

Have you read the Audacity of Hope?  I have it, I’ve gotta admit His writing is as engaging as his speeches.  He’s absolutely brilliant.  The best thing though?  Other than we can say soon that a chick pea doesn’t outsmart our prez?

He is a get this (but I have to warn you- MASSIVE IRONY AHEAD)-

An Superb (IRONY last warning!) Constitutional Lawyer.  So you know, he knows it’s not “just a piece of paper”.  Still with me?  Doing okay from that?  Okay good.

Oh and yes I have in this post and more brought back my wonderful sarcasm.

Yay.

I’m taking a momentarily lapse in my normal posting, which are ever so eloquently complaining about the wide world we live in.  Instead, a more personal post.  I am well aware that I have written about new school feminists.  This time however, partially in the vein of fairness, partially due to the fact I have an ex man-child as an unfortunate albeit small part in my life.

Although, in truth I am indeed the one that had kicked him out.  I am the one who is starting the divorce proceedings, and I am the one who will not give him anything in the way of emotions.  So there is an understanding, I have no emotions or tolerance for this man left.

What to say about the ex of mine? Sadly, he is stunningly bland.  His intellectual capacity is comparable best to perhaps a thimble with a hole at the bottom.  Although, yes he is a rather “industrious” individual in this case industrious can only apply to suiting his own needs.  He is a man of many vices, something it took me just over four years to fully see.

Unfortunately, I did marry him.  Although that marriage only was so for about a month until he was deployed. No, he faced no unimaginable horrors.   He had no contact with any atrocities, he was merely in Africa, guarding a gate for seven months.  (Although, personally I am not still bound by OPSEC, I won’t divulge much out of respect of the service.) While he was gone, I played the role of typical military spouse.  I sent along the care packages, I worried, I picked up his call when he managed to call. I tried to include him in my pregnancy, I was carrying our child and I gave birth while he was away.

So, pretty much the normal cookie cutter type thing.

When he came back midway for a funeral, he was still himself at first. Complaints in one hand beer in the other so to speak.  He started to be a bit controlling, at least I had started to notice it. He would grow angry due to the fact I was 6 months pregnant and I had no desire to stay out all night. I had no desire to “party”.  Something that should not have even been surprising considering I’ve never been the “party type”. Yet, he would get quite angry with me because I had no desire to go to any casinos (I don’t gamble), I wasn’t wanting to go to clubs, I wasn’t comfortable with him drinking heavily (I don’t like drunk drivers).

I had no energy, as I was carrying a child in my womb.

He cheated on me for the first time on that mothers day, then again after he went back to his post. When he came back, he started immediately. He did not chose to stray with any type of actual relationship, rather he is insistent on “paying for dates” (what a thinly veiled attempt at saying prostitutes) which he did well over 40 times. I could easily respect the fact that he didn’t want to be with me anymore, unfortunately he (and still is) making attempts to both justify and blame others for his behavior.  You see, it is my fault he cheated due to the fact that well >insert a thousand reasons here<.  This is, to be honest, rather typical behavior.  It’s also the “nicer” of the things he’s done.

It is also completely sickening.

He managed to burn through 18 grand after he got back, in a matter of only a month or two.  He became rather abusive to myself, he still to this day is making attempts to “set me off” he wants me angry.  Although he attempts this in wholly confounding ways.

He gives absolutely no mind to our child, yet he refuses to sign over his rights.  He gave me full custody, want to “pay child support”, doesn’t at all.  To be blunt all of those things are to alleviate his own guilt.  He chose his path, and is unhappy with the results.  He expected me to “get over it” so we could “live happily ever after”.

Such a winner.

Suffice it to say, I finally have freedom in my sights.  I will be happy when this is all over, once and for all.
