The Gaytheist Agenda

In reference to the murder of Lawrence King Ellen said on her show what I’ve long wished every Presidential candidate would. Just watch and listen–it’s amazing.

Listen up, politicians. I will vote for any candidate who has the cajones to say what Ellen said and to offer the policy to back it up. I’m willing to bet there are thousands, if not millions, who would do the same. Forget what the bigots will think and for once consider what is right. Consider what really matters. Equal Human Rights.

Addendum: I’ve received a comment on this entry. dara says:

i don’t like any of the candidates-to-be. ugh, i’m really disappointed with this
country. ellen for president!

I don’t either. I made it plain in a previous post that I have no use for Barack Obama. I did vote for Hillary Clinton, but only because she’s the last candidate left standing against him and I don’t want him in the G.E. (I don’t dislike HRC but I have no strong affinity for her either) My candidate of choice was Dennis Kucinich because I agreed with nearly every one of his stances, but he dropped out long ago. I then opted for John Edwards as a second choice and he too dropped out right before our primary.

I’m sick to death of having to settle every single time. This time I believe I’m going to end up taking a different path.

Jocelyn Salinas cries after the shooting of Lawrence King.

15-year-old Lawrence King of Oxnard, CA, was shot Tuesday at his school. He remained on a ventilator after being pronounced brain-dead by two neurosurgeons at St. John’s Regional Medical Center.

Police have not alleged a motive for the shooting, but said there appeared to have been “bad blood” between the teens. Police said a handgun was used in the attack, which occurred with more than 20 other students in the room.

[The Los Angeles Times reports that, “The teenager sometimes wore feminine clothing and makeup, and proclaimed he was gay,” according to fellow students. “He would come to school in high-heeled boots, makeup, jewelry and painted nails — the whole thing,” said Michael Sweeney, 13, an eighth-grader. “That was freaking the guys out.”] King had been under the care of the county foster care system and lived at Casa Pacifica, a nearby center for abused and neglected children, said Steve Elson, the facility’s chief executive.

“We’re are all stunned and it’s just an unspeakable tragedy,” Elson said.

Yet another unspeakable tragedy brought on by homophobia. This is what the attitudes fostered by RRRW Christianity enables. This is what hatred of anything and anybody “different” is doing to our world. This is the environment radicals are fighting so hard to maintain by working against SB 777. An environment where discrimination and intolerance flourish and are legal. One where it’s seemingly OK for kids to be killed just for being different.

What a vile, sick, hateful world.
