A Sickly Hello

Hey everyone. I've had a very bad cold for almost two weeks now, and I am finally getting my voice back. I've been so depressed, cuz I haven't been able to sing while I drive, which is a big part of making the long hours go by. Anyway, I have put in my request for time off, which if everything goes right, means that I should be home on Xmas day, or at the least, by Boxing Day (if you don't know what that is, look it up). I will have 5 days off, so maybe I'll take a day to see some of my friends, if they are around, and not with their own families for the holidays.

Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all?

A giant leap forward was taken yesterday in the fight for human rights in the US of A. It is extremely gratifying to me that our great nation is at a point in its maturity, that we can vote for and elect an African-American to our nations highest office. Over 100 years of civil rights battles has culminated in this victory for equal, civil, and human rights. With pride, I can look upon this event, and I say that we are ready, now, to focus on the next group of people that are still being denied basic human rights, freedoms, and privileges; that's right, the LGBT community. While a great step forward was taken for the black community, and the Democratic Nation as a whole, a great many steps backward were also taken in the civil, human, and equality rights of gays. While this saddens me, I also have to say to myself, and to the community also; be brave, be courageous, our time will come. It is going to be a long, arduous journey, but, as women fought for and gained equality, as blacks fought for and gained equality, so must we join together and move forward in our fight for equality. While it is a setback that this election year, 3 states (California, Florida, and Arizona) have decided to discriminate and to add anti-gay legislation into their constitutions, we must also see that there are also states that have succeeded in looking at this issue with clear perceptions, and have chosen to see no divisible difference between marriages for straights or gays. One can only hope that in the coming years, we can educate our communities about the issues facing us and that tolerance will become more prevalent.

Well, Obama won. Yay! Good news for us all. But, it is sad to say, the bigots have won again in california. They have elected to segregate and discriminate against the gays by taking away our right to get married.

First Video Blog, No on 8, Yes to Obama

OMG! How cool! I just tried this to see if it would work... well, it did! Video's not the best quality, but what do you expect from a camera phone? Anyway, I was driving in New Mexico towards
Texas, and I was kinda bored, because OutQ was all about Obama's g-mother dying, and I was like, okay, get over it! jeez! it's not as if it's gonna effect the election or anything. As if I have anything to say, I can't even vote (I'm still ticked about that, yes). I still want to urge everyone to vote for Obama anyway, since he's the lesser of two evils. And if you know anyone living in California, please urge them to vote NO on proposition 8, which would take away the right for gays and lesbians to get married, which was a given right in July.
