it's dirty under the bus...

Well... i watched the vice presidential debate last night, and while the people "in the know" thought it was a great debate, i was less than impressed.

Everything that Palin said, didn't resinate with me. I mean... it sounded good, however, she kept talking about energy energy energy... even when the question wasn't about energy. she said... (and i am paraphrasing) "I know I won't be answering the questions the way the moderators want, but I am talking to the american people tonight."

Then... they asked about gay marriage. Both emphatically mentioned that they are against gay marriage. I have to be honest, i am sick and tired of being thrown under the bus. Why the hell... no... why the FUCK, in this day and age, is it appropriate to discriminate against a group of people in an open forum, to get votes... Isn't it time for a change of attitude? I am going to start calling these people racist... and i KNOW they aren't discriminating based on race... but it will get their attention, and i will explain their attitude EXACTLY MIRRORS racism...

to be honest, it's religist... the middle eastern based religions, christianity, jewish, islam, are all against gay people, and we are the last group of people, who it is okay to hate, based on what we are. It's EXTREMELY annoying, and i am getting bruised for all the being thrown under the bus. Oh... and then they balk at countries who don't share their values that EVERYONE is equal, but gays don't quite seem to truely fit in that equation

Now... while i KNOW i am very far from a boyfriend, let alone marriage, i hate the fact that it's okay to take shots at me just because of how i am... we are hated more than murderers, rapists (adult rapists), junkies, and corporate robbers... We don't do anything that's non-consentual. We don't hurt anyone, though, they think we are damning both our and our partner's souls for all eternity... When I ask for proof, they show me a 2000 year old book, which says you shouldn't eat pork, kill children who talk back to their parents, and not eat shellfish, as all of those are "sins." I am sorry... that's NOT good enough. Then they point to the AIDS epidemic, how it was "gods curse" but straight people can get it too... so what's up with that? STUPID people... and they run the country... Canada and Euqope is looking better and better, with their economies, and true equality...

*sigh*
