Re: WC 150K Post Challenge - You Ready?!
It was great ruling. Should have been 9 - 0....
There was a couple of amusing articles I thought I putting links to from the right wing brigade. Especially the one about 10,000 pastors willing to die opposing same sex marriage. Good start is what came to my mind...
This is what I posted on my Facebook feed earlier:
I'm torn because I REALLY don't use Facebook alot, but I think I need to clear up my friends listing and drop some folks.
While I agree to respect other people's views, I guess I'm at a point where both professionally and personally, views shouldn't get into the way of seeing the humanity in others. That's my sticking point with some people on my friends feed, and those who I cross paths in life. Whenever I see homophobia, I'm reminded of ethnocentrism, racism, ageism, and sexism also. I'm tired of religion and science and politics being used as tools to perpetuate a similar style of downpression on LGBTQ individuals that blacks have experienced for hundreds of years under chattel slavery, persecuted minorities under religious and ethnic cleansing for hundreds of years, and what women have gone through for thousands of years as far as gender goes.
The most telling was when I saw a feed with someone on my who ask, "why are you so interested in protecting the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman when, abuse, poverty and other ills are running amok?" The response was "about trying to protect their views of society". I guess we are still picking what types of discrimination we should feel comfortable living with?
There is no better to be had with logic like this still running around in 2015. Part of me doesn't sleep well at night because of ALL the ILLS in the world...cherry picking **** like this doesn't solve those problems.
"I don't want no PEACE, I NEED EQUAL RIGHTS and JUSTICE. " - Peter Tosh. I guess there are some folks out there who really still don't understand this. That's fine, I'll do us both a favor and drop you from my feed.
