Britstol Palin's expertise on morality.

Just when I think I've about seen it all, Bristol Palin comes out in her blog and criticizes Obama for having a conversation with his daughters about same sex couples???

Are you serious? Of all people to give moral advice about what's right and wrong... Wow... just Wow!

When people like Bristol Palin and Rush Limbaugh (Rush has been married four times btw) talk about the war on marriage, I have to call them out on their incredible hypocrisy!

Do they really think we're stupid? Are these the best faces the bigots can put forward?

Playing politics....

So, yesterday I was blogging about having a rough day and of course the day ended up being not only good, but great! You might even say super duper amazing!

You probably weren't on this planet if you missed the president's announcement that he has evolved into fully supporting marriage equality. This is wonderful news and the timing couldn't have been better.

What really amazes me is how many people are trying to spin this negatively! I've had comments on my FB page saying, "he's just trying to buy votes," and "what a politician, he should have done this his first term," Fox news called him a "flip flopper!"

Wow.... really? Folks, this is progress!!! Of course many of us wanted this much sooner, but now calling him names?? Why do we have to play politics with this?

I think we all know where this is headed and I truly believe we will see marriage equality in all 50 states within our lifetime! To win this war we need Republican and Democrats to come together.  When I lobby I have to check my own political beliefs at the door because we have Republican and Democratic supporters and friends.

Can we please stop calling this a partisan issue and view it as RIGHT VS. WRONG!!

I don't care if you like or dislike Obama, he is correct is his stance on marriage equality and Mitt Romney is wrong!  Where will you stand?  History is being rewritten even as we speak!  Will you be apologizing to your grand kids some day??

Rough day!

Waking up to a bunch of negative headlines in the fight for equality is not fun!

North Carolina passes a constitutional amendment not only banning gay marriage, but also banning the future passage or possibility of civil unions; and it looks like the speaker of the house in Colorado has decided not to introduce the civil unions bill on the floor thus ensuring it's demise in this legislative session.

I would imagine the bigots, haters, WyWatcher's, religious freaks, and many Tea Party members are having a field day with this!

Well let me tell you what this does for me; I get fired up more than ever! I want my voice to be louder than ever! I want to make phone calls, recruit progressive candidates, support ally legislators, and share my personal story with more people than ever before!

My love for my partner Mike, is not superficial! It's not unholy! It's not dirty or perverse! It is beautiful, healthy, and natural! I have pride in myself and love for my partner that no one can take away or diminish.... NO MATTER WHAT!! We don't want special rights, we want equal rights!

What I've seen this morning is friends, that have never been political before, posting things like "time to get involved!"  and "we're not going to be silent any more and trust that the system will look out for us!"

As I always say, We may have lost a battle but we will win the war!

The time is now for the LGTB community and our allies to speak up! Share your stories, tell your friends what's going on, don't sit by expect your government to have your best interests in mind! Ask your legislators where they stand on this issue; and if they don't support us, get rid of em!  Back the states, countries, and companies that are supportive of Equality!

Let your voice, your dollar, and your vote speak louder than ever before!
