Gay Rights among other things…
Have you heard?
Those assholes down at the New Jersey senate REJECTED bills legalizing gay marriage.
Aiight. Here’s what I have to say about this:
What. The. Eff.
We are in 2010, people! Not the 1950′s or the Middle fucking Ages.
America says “All men are created equal”. Uh huh, sure. African-American citizens were enslaved by our so-called free-ass country. They didn’t get the right to vote until 1869, and even THEN they still didn’t have the same rights as white men. African-Americans then proceeded to fight for their rights until 1955 (If the year doesn’t ring a bell, this will: Rosa Parks), when they FINALLY had a real turning point. Women couldn’t even vote until 1919, and had to fight so hard to get even HALF as much money has a man, even if they had the same. exact. fucking. job. and. skills. And there are so many more things the LAND OF THE FUCKING FREE has done, such as the “Yellow Scare”, where they wouldn’t let Asians imigrate into the United States, or the whole anti-Mexican sentiment.
Where the hell am I going with this, you ask?
Here’s where: America has discriminated against minorities enough.
But, of course, why stop now?? Straight white men basically own the whole damn world. Let me tell all of you something:
I don’t give a shit WHAT your religion is, but making minorities second-class citizens is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Alright.
I, as a female of Asian descent, am a little more sensitive to discrimination than some of my readers. There are times when I just thank God (I don’t believe in god) that I was born in this time where I can get an education, I have so much oppurtunity, I was born into this rich country. But there is always that naggy feeling in the back of my head that I will never recieve the same treatment as a white male. Yes. It breaks my heart to have to admit it. But even as we all have the same rights (except for the marriages and civil unions), minorities will always be treated differently.
I live for the day our skin tones all blend together, and we all speak the same language.
Look: All I’m saying is this- We say that America is so free and wonderful, but isn’t that only for straight people like you and me? And if you aren’t straight, then, disregard that.
I was born with the right to meet a guy, fall in love, and get married.
And gays get to meet a girl or guy, fall in love, and wait for the day the evil authority will finally correct it’s mistakes.
Here’s the thing, people: Gays are not second-class citizens. They deserve every single right that we do.
