Election

Today, is not a good day for me in regards to the election.

I voted for change, I voted for, what I thought was the better candidate, I voted for Obama.

Why then, am I not happy and less than impressed with the election results on this historic election?

Because, I, as a gay man, was once again thrown under the bus. While people were talking about how change has happened, and that even an African American can be elected president. In 4 states, gays were shot down in everything from marriage to adoption. We are still second class citizens in an America that are no longer a part of the "civil rights movement"

In an election of change, some things have stayed the same. Gays are not treated fairly in America. We are not worth pure citizenship in America.

Mr President Elect... you say "Yes we can" well... what you really mean is "Yes your people can" but you tell my community... "No you can't"

No my friends... today is not a good day... While i am happy that there is a change in Washington DC... and a group that has been oppressed has taken a MAJOR, well deserved step forward. That same group, claiming civil rights victory, has helped perpetuate intolerance, homophobia, and has succeeded in re-enforcing that, not all people in America are "created equal"

Shame on you... all of you, who vote for injustice. Shame on the news who refuse to cover this event. Shame on everyone who claims this historic election of change to be complete victory.

I am not celebrating.
