My Random Blog

I wish that all of the citizens of America understood that they aren’t God. How I live my life and the personal decisions I make are between me and God. In the end, it is God that I will answer to; not those that think they have the right to tell me how to live my life. If you don’t agree with things that people do- then don’t do them yourselves. Live your life the way YOU want to- and mind your own business. I don’t live my life for other people and NO one should ever have to.

I’m not going to make this a “political” blog… There are plenty of more qualified and elequent people out there who are kicking ass in that respect. But know that I am against the taking away of rights from people simply because others might not agree with them.

California will be voting on Prop 8 in November and I hope that the voters make the right choice by voting NO. If you’re against gay marriage- then don’t participate in it. If you’re against equal rights for everyone, then you should probably re-examine your own life, and why it is you feel the need to deny opportunities for people you don’t know anything about simply because you disagree with who they love.

Homosexuality is no more a choice than is heterosexuality. That’s a fact. And just because it’s possible to find gays who hate themselves for it, wish they weren’t and struggle to live “hetero” lives, doesn’t prove otherwise. Being gay in this country isn’t easy, thanks to those that try so fucking hard to make it difficult. It’s time to knock that shit off and take a step forward, instead of backward.

Peace and God loves gays too, even if you don’t.

So I recently had a meltdown over Bakersfield refusing to perform wedding ceremonies for gay couples. You would think that once the Supreme Court had it’s say, this would be decided and final. Unfortunately I share a state with narrow-minded assholes who think they know what’s best for people they don’t even know. Because of them, we Californians will be voting on this issue in November.

My fave bloggy friend has published a post about this issue herself, as well as a link to the Equality for All Web site. It is there that I went and vowed to vote NO. Specifically:

I Vow To Vote No on a statewide ballot initiative that is intending to amend the California constitution to ban marriage for gay and lesbian couples. Gay and lesbian couples deserve the same fundamental freedoms that all Californians enjoy. I hereby Vow To Vote No on any constitutional amendment that stands in the way of equality for all.

I realize that this may not be a passionate issue for everyone, but as someone who has friends and family members who are gay and lesbian, this is a big fucking deal to me. And people who strive to take basic rights away from my friends and family piss me off.

Everybody matters. God loves ALL of us. And we all deserve the same basic rights of life. Period.

Peace and Equality.
