Why I hate Maine

Seriously. The yahoos there voted down marriage equality. And, as usual, nothing happens. No one says a fucking word. Oh, wait, did I speak too soon? Yeah, straight people tell me to relax and point out it was only, by, like 2%. That somehow, losing, even tho another group of my people are out of equal rights, I should care about the small two percent.

Then I hear the asshat of New Lick MegaChurch, Haggard gets a twenty minute coverage about his new church. He's 'changed.' Folks? He's still as queer as a caring conservative. He still likes to hide in airport restrooms with a wide stance. Do I care that he liked boys? Not really. I thought he'd find peace, like so many exgays who go on to help others avoid such snafus. But no. And his mere presence proves that this nation is still healing from the damage done from Emperor Bush.

The fact of the fucking matter is, why the hell should they fucking vote. Do they vote on if everyone should breathe? Do they fucking have votes on which foods like you like? Fuck no. But they'll have a vote to see if someone should be seen as equal as the rest.

Frankly, I'm tired of it. So many gay youth out there who don't know who they truly are now contemplating suicide, 'cause they ahve so little to look forward to. How many closeted men won't move farther out of that hellhole because, well, whatthefuckfor? It's not like there's a future in self acceptance. That's wrong folks, just wrong.

In fact, I have been wondering if someone should say fuck it and burn the masses. Lock arms and sit in churches and town halls. Let the people know that the civil rights marches aren't over. Normally, I'd stand up and say, "now I'm not advocating violence..." No. Do you see what peace has gotten us? Nothing. Six states. Out of fifty. And even a government that wishes us to shut the hell up.

What about not dumping a turd on capital hill? Paint that white dome a decent pink one night for the sheer hell of it. Oh, I'm fully aware, it's all the haters would love to see. They'd jump up and down, leave their stalls in the airports and say, "see???And you to let these people be our equals?"

Folks. Come out. As straight or as gay. But be counted. Don't be soft. Say to people, "You're wrong and stupid." Don't try to be nice, don't try to play their games. Say, "deal with it."

And wear big boots.
