It's No Laughing Matter

This election is killing my funny bone. I'm sad, sad at the Republicans for being hateful and anti-gay. I know I shouldn't be surprised. But I forgot about their "agenda" for a while. And well, now I've been reminded. And I'm sad, very sad.

Because this isn't just some bridge/road/traffic policy issue. This is about my life, the love of my life, our friends and our community. That's right. Real people who are fighting for their dignity and their civil rights.

Obama and the Democrats have given us some positive regard lately; something that few out gays or lesbians receive much of from our society. But you know all about how we are hated and persecuted both here at home and around the world.

So I ask you to say a kind word about someone known to be LGBT to your friends or a member of your family. And please stand tall with us and vote yes for marriage equality if it's on the ballot this November in your state. That's right, vote for human rights for everyone!
