Don't Ask, TELL - Repeal This Bullshit Now

I know that you guys are an aware and active population, so please forgive the redundancy of posting links to socially minded and environmental progressive organizations. But, just in the event that you miss a few, or are new to this site, I'm going to continue to do so.

SO, if you haven't already, please take a moment to sign this petition from The Human Rights Campaign: The Pentagon report is in. Repeal DADT now!

It's about equality for all, not for some. It's about dignity and respect. It's about freedom.

Ignorance and bigotry have ruled long enough.

Silence is compliance.

Cindy McCain Is A Total Badass

I've written before about the McCain women stepping up. And I DO feel badly about ever saying that Cindy McCain was really a Klingon Warrioress dressed poorly in Dolce & Gabbana.

I also feel badly that she's still married to that... What did I call him? Oh yeah, "a ginned-up hobbit". Yeah. That's it. I imagine THAT'S why I thought she was a "Klingon Warrioress".

We'll blame my poor judgment on John McCain. And really, why wouldn't we?

So, yeah. Cindy McCain has stepped up AGAIN.

"Our political and religious leaders tell LGBT youth that they have no future. They can't serve our country openly.

"Our government treats the LGBT community like second-class citizens. Why shouldn't bullies?" ~ Cindy McCain

Brava, Cindy, brava. I'm just sorry that you're still married to that ginned-up hobbit.

(See? Am I lying?) Although, I am fond of how you prod him. It's good for him. So, keep prodding. It keeps him on his hairy, stubby toes. Anyway, Cindy,... may I call you "Cindy"? Great. I like your style.

ACTION! (Or, "Obama Can Suck It")

How quaint. Obama's "It Gets Better" video.

While basically upholding "Don't Ask Don't Tell".

Actions speak louder than words, baby...

With New Limits, US Military Reinstates "Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell"

That's close, but it's still no giant cigar in my pants. They're still giving license for prejudice and thus a cycle of hate.

Are they worried about heterosexuals' actions should the law enforcing bigotry be dropped and homosexuals allowed to serve openly?

It's the MILITARY. And speaking as a veteran myself, is there no discipline and conduct left in the military?

What happened to zero tolerance for deplorable behavior?

And how would people feel if women weren't allowed to serve? Or African-Americans? Or Chinese-Americans? Or Latinos?

What fucking hypocrites. These laws that continue to make homosexuals far less-than-equal citizens are the insidious sources of bigotry and hatred, which leads to bullying, suicides and murders of the LGBT community.

You can blow smoke all you want, Barack. But, until you DO SOMETHING, it might as well be coming out of your ass. And appropriately, that shit smells.
