VICTORY is ours...for now.

It's no secret that I occasionally talk about my beliefs and probably have a bad habit of blogging too much about it.  But hello...there is no fucking way I could pass up talking about the fact that PROP H8 WAS OVERTURNED!!!!!!!!!!! I mean this is a huge victory!  Judge Vaughn Walker stated,

"Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of marriage license. Indeed the evidence shows Proposition 8 does nothing more than enshrine in the California constitution the notion that opposite sex couples are superior to same sex couples."

Ok, he could not have said it better.

[Soooo cute :)]

All of this pictures can be found at NoH8campaign.  Anyway...the battle isn't over.  An email I got from the Human Rights Campaign stated,

"Yesterday, when a California court ruled that Proposition 8 violated the U.S. Constitution, the radical-right "National Organization for Marriage" (NOM) immediately went ballistic, saying the case could "strip millions of Americans of our core civil right to vote..."

The ruling has fueled a right-wing fire that was already raging: NOM is in the midst of holding anti-equality rallies in 20 cities, and rabidly anti-marriage candidates are making headway – including one who's received major support despite his ties to a group that condoned executing gay people."

 It is the most unfortunate thing that so many radical "Christians" are focusing on depriving others of marrying the one they love instead of major issues affecting others such a poverty, homelessness, child abuse.  Don't those seem like things Jesus would have been trying to assist with?  We all know ridiculous people will appeal this decision.  Let's keep fighting for equality and rejoicing in our small steps!  One day we'll get away from the massive prejudices being forced on minorities.

If you care about equality.

Repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell Now (DADT)

Do your part.  You should all know by now how I feel about equality for all Americans.  Don't Ask Don't Tell is just the epitome of inequality in America.  The government wants Americans to sacrifice their lives to protect the country, yet they risk losing their benefits and being discharges for being who they are.  Not to mention, they don't even get the same rights as their heterosexual counterparts.  It is truly dishonorable the way the government continues to turn a blind eye to the honorable and brave people serving to protect us.

Guys it's as simple as filling in a few boxes and an email will be sent to your senator.  I'm proud to say NC Senator Kay Hagan (yay NC!) supports the repeal of DADT. 

Oh and even if you don't like Kathy Griffin, her Life on the D-List episode from this week was amazing related to DADT.  I couldn't find the entire episode, but here is a link to the Bravo info page.  Watch the FULL ep though...it's amazing.  YouTube as well :)

Why do people hate change that does not even directly effect them??
