Month: August 2012

Every 36 hours in the United States one Black woman, man or child is killed by police, and by a smaller number of security guards and self-appointed vigilantes. These are the startling findings of a new and now updated report on Extrajudicial Killings of Black People released July 9, 2012 and updated July 16, 2012.

It still shocks (and mostly just disappoints) me how SHOCKED people are when I tell them that it is 100% legal to be fired simply for being gay.

They look at me like I’m lying and say things like “nooooo, that can’t be right?”.

I have been fired twice (in Ohio) for being openly gay.

I have been asked:

  • to not wear my wedding ring
  • Not acknowledge my wife’s existence
  • To “just say you have a husband”
  • To just not answer “yes” when people ask if I’m married because “you’re not REALLY married”
  • To not bring my wife to the company FAMILY Christmas party
  • Let people just assume we’re sisters
  • Just make it easier on everyone and “just say you’re divorced”

These were not requests made from some Mom and Pop shop, I was a corporate executive for a large chain of high volume restaurants. My boss was the Director of Human Resources, and she would walk into my office and say the most ignorant things you can imagine.

People in America need to be educated on the reality that is life as a gay person in  this country.

It’s not all gay pride parades and appletinis. 

We need a leg to stand on.

We need people to wake up and educate themselves on the rights we are denied.

We need people…gay, straight, and in between, to open their eyes, stop ignoring what doesn’t directly effect them, and educate themselves.

“Hail to Lucifer! The light of illumination. For it is by thine eye doth my own mind take night. The kingdom come, thy will be done, what is the above is from the below. Thou art the sovereignty of the Heavens, and the King of the Earth, the Lord of Light and the Prince of Darkness. Hallow be Thy Name. Amen.”

Dear Atheists,

queerqueenofcolor:

You are not “special”, “radical” or “kewl” because you do not believe in Deity. No, Atheism does not answer all of life’s mysteries. Yes, you can be an Atheist and an asshole. No, you’re not enlightened. You are just a person. 

Sincerely,
