Maine votes against gay marriage: some thoughts
Published by November 4th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, politics, that is so gay, tragic, venting, well? and wtf?!. 8 CommentsYesterday, Maine’s vote sent a(nother) clear message to me: gay people do not matter to the majority of Americans. I am sure that many will argue that this is not the position of most Americans, but the message is too clear to ignore. Our civil rights are constantly up for debate, and constantly, we have [...]

STFU
Published by April 30th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, that is so gay, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 6 CommentsA couple of weeks ago, it was ignorant Prejean, blabbing her opinion on the “gay lifestyle”, and her beliefs about gay marriage.
