Prop 8: Tipping The Scale

Finally, the evil Prop 8 has been overturned. It's been the talk of the nation for days now. Celebrities are rejoicing and the LGBT public is finally getting what it deserve. It's a great time in our history. We are finally reaching a point in evolution where we are beginning to respect and accept those that are different than ourselves. 


Ellen DeGeneres discussed the victory on her show saying that she was very "happy" for the decision. Ellen married her wife Portia de Rossi in 2008. Her fame has definitely contributed to the rise of LGBT consciousness.   It's because of great women and men like Ellen that we have come this far.

Eat That
The scale is finally starting to tip in favor of "gay marriage". The time has come for our homosexual friends to experience the same joys and sorrows associated with marriage as the "breeders". Thank god, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully we can say so-long to oppression of all types withing the coming years. It takes time and evolution to change, but I believe people are generally good and are capable of giving up their prejudices. 

The best question is "now what". Well, hopefully we will see the full institutionalization of gay marriages. There is still a lot of legal bullshit and papers to be signed, but with the way things are trending I'm hopeful this will occur within the next few weeks or months. Even anti-gay politicians can't be that dense not to see that equal rights apply to everyone!

The $50 Lesson

I got this from one of my best friends. It's a true story -- very funny! ~

The $50 Lesson

Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog.

During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up.  

She said she wanted to be President some day.

Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?"

She replied... "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people."

Her parents beamed with pride!

"Wow...what a worthy goal!" I said. "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that!" I told her.

"What do you mean?" she replied.

So I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house."

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"

I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

Her parents aren't speaking to me.
