A bit of a poser

[docwebster]

To those who actually think "civil unions" are okay.. we didn't let them get away with this happy horseshit forty years ago when it was called "separate but equal", why are we supposed to let them get away with it now? What the hell's next, I ask you - separate homosexual drinking fountains? Homosexuals at the back of the bus? Where in the wide blue hell does it end, people?

Bravo to all of you for speaking your minds.

As someone who lives only a few minutes away from the Massachusetts StateHouse, I can tell you that the energy around here is high, along with the anger and the vitriol. A group of Religious Right nutcakes came up from Georgia this week and walked around Boston Common with these insulting signs and shouting out Bible verses. I'm so glad they are free to do this in any part of the US, just as I and my church are free to march through the Common our outside the StateHouse with our 8' banner that says "God Loves Everybody".

As far as I'm concerned, let more of the nutcakes come up here. The more radically mean and visible their message is, the more people on the fence are going to topple over onto our side. I'm just waiting for some enterprising reporter to catch one of the state reps muttering something homophobic under their breath on tape. Just watch the fur and sympathy fly then!

Don't give up hope, people. This is a civil rights issue, regardless of how hard the far right tries to convince people otherwise, and more and more people are beginning to understand this.
