REMEMBER....1/27/2012

JANUARY 27 is INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY. What is important to remember and so OFTEN overlooked is that the HOLOCAUST happened to more than just the Jews. In addition to the six million people of the Jewish faith that were BRUTALLY murdered...those considered gypsies, mentally or physically handicapped and ALL KNOWN HOMOSEXUALS were sent to the camps. That's right...the gays. The upside down pink triangle so commonly known as a symbol of gay rights was once the most dreaded symbol in the camps. If you were forced to wear the pink triangle..not only were you beaten and sexually assaulted by the Nazi guards..you were also prey to everyone else in the camp. Sadly, some of the homosexuals that came out of the camps described being beaten, shunned and spit on by heterosexual prisoners. The pink triangle was considered the lowest of the low. Some gays begged for the Jewish Yellow Star instead. In addition, those that actually survived the camps were promptly imprisoned in most of the countries where they were released because at the time many places still criminalized homosexuality. We often hear people say, NEVER AGAIN in regards to the HOLOCAUST...and yet whereas we have moved past the day and age where people of other faiths can credibly and without repercussion say negative things about the Jewish faith and it's followers...it is still acceptable to many Americans to call homosexuals horrible names, to allow gay youth to be bullied in the name of religion and to march around proclaiming you are a Christian while brandishing a GOD HATES FAGS sign. The Jews were blamed by the Nazis for the decline of the German civilization, thus it was easy for Hitler to convince the general Christian population to become complicit in rounding up the entire Jewish population and shipping them off. Fundamentalist Christians blame homosexuals for the decline of American civilization and frequently call for rounding up homosexuals for the good of society. The fight is not over...it has just begun. Until it is UNACCEPTABLE and ILLEGAL for anyone to discriminate against homosexuals..until EQUALITY in the workplace, marriage and the community is the LAW of the land and we as a country leave behind the belief that human rights can be legislated...then gays and lesbians (and their allies) everywhere must be constantly vigilant. Left to the fundamentalists and the right wing....it COULD happen again. In REMEMBRANCE OF THE MILLIONS THAT DIED because of their faith, their creed, their color and THEIR SEXUALITY.

IT ISN'T JUST AN ISSUE WHEN IT IS YOU THEY ARE TALKING BOUT!

Okay Romney fans...especially ones that know me....when you go to the polls in November...right before you cast your ballet...I want to know how you would feel about ME if you knew that I voted for a candidate that said he was going to ban your marriage in the constitution....instate a policy where you couldn't talk about your personal life at work..and drove around with your pet on his car. Just a thought.

Here is MY perspective on the Sean Savoy Story..as reported by the DALLAS VOICE

 

Thanks to editor John Wright for giving me a call this afternoon and reporting this.  It has the original FACEBOOK comment I made that caused Sean to ask me to be his guest in the first place.

SO...Here's The Thing..........

So…here’s the deal.  I just don’t get gay people that are Republicans.  I’m trying, but I don’t get it.  The ones that I have talked to assert that they simply feel that they are more in tune with the Republican party than they are with the Democrats…oh…except for the gay issue.  It is just an issue to you?  SERIOUSLY?  Your very being…the WAY you are…who you sleep with..who you love is just an issue?  REALLY?  You would rather identify with a political party that HATES you so you can make sure that some poor kids don’t get a few of your dollars?  You would rather support politicians that want to BAN you and create amendments AGAINST you than vote for a party that tries to give healthcare to poor people? 

I was just reading an article about the Log Cabin Republicans (men who like men and women who like women but really love money).  They of course are “disappointed” that the Republicans adopted such an ANTI GAY (that’s you, Log Cabin people) official platform….BUT…they are so happy that the Republicans are talking about the issue.  REALLY?  Have you been listening to what they are saying??  At all?  Might I remind you that Santorum, Perry and Bachman are Republicans and they HATE you.  Romney and Ryan are no better.  They promise a Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage (which isn’t just an injustice to your entire way of life, but a rape of the Constitution itself)…a return to Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (on DAY ONE according to Romney)…and lots of Supreme Court judges that will make your life extra miserable.

Make no mistake gay Republicans…your party leaders don’t want you in a log cabin…they want you HERE!

BREAKING NEWS: Well, well, well...still believe FOX is a news organization? I was recently a guest on Sean Savoy's radio show HOUSE OF SAVOY on a local Fox affiliate in Reno, NV. We discussed LGBT issues, marriage equality and the Chick F...

il A situation. It was hardly a very controversial interview...HOWEVER, the owner of the station didn't like it much.. HE DROPPED the radio program and didn't even have the decency to tell the host to his face. Just dumped him! FOX doesn't want to hear anything about gays and lesbians unless it is negative. Such a shame. Here is a link to the show if you would like to listen. Share this...talk about this...make some noise. Fox affiliates shouldn't fire people because they disagree with ONE show.
