The White Knot



The White Knot is a new way for supporters of gay rights to show their support everyday without having to carry a sign on the side of the street. Their saying (which I love) is "Because everyone should be able to tie the knot", simple yet moving, just like the color they use for the knot, white. White symbolizes everything that is beautiful and pure, like love and marriage. Visit their sight and get your own white knot. Until then make you own. Like they say everyone should be able to tie the knot. Whiteknot.org

Seven Weeks To Equality

I just found a new sight "Seven Weeks To Equality". They are fighting the fight for equality for all. Take the time to visit there sight for more info and sign the petition.

Here is some of what they are about in their own words:

We call on all supporters of equality to sustain and intensify the nationwide campaign of mass protests and non-violent civil disobedience, for seven weeks, starting on November 27, 2008, the thirtieth anniversary of the assassination of Harvey Milk, and to then gather together in mass, from all corners of our country, in Washington, DC on the morning of Tuesday, January 20, 2009, to honor the inauguration of our President, Barack Obama.

Day Of Protest For Gays This Saturday


As many of you know, after all was said and done with the election, the gays in America lost a big fight. We all knew that Amendment 2 here in Florida was going to pass, but when prop 8 in
California passed, it was very disheartening. California...out of all places, I thought, had the majority of open-minded people in America. I am tired of being made to feel even less than a second class citizen. We should all have the right to be happy. We all should all have the right to show our love for the ones we love. I'm tired of feeling like I can't walk down the street and hold hands with my boyfriend because people don't think its "right". I'm tired of people thinking they can decide for me what is "right". I am a grown man that is in love with another grown man and there is nothing wrong with that. I want what everyone in America wants...to be free. I am going to fight for that right and I want all of you to join us.


This Saturday is going to be a day of protest across America.
Here is the link to find your state: Day Of Protest
Me and my boyfriend of 8 yrs plan on being one of the people speaking out in Pensacola. The sad thing about the protest in pensacola is as of now there are only 4 people willing to stand up and do something. The population of Pensacola alone (this is not including the surrounding areas of pensacola) is around 60,000 people. We know that at least 1 in 10 people are gay. That means that there are at least 6,000 gay men and women in Pensacola and only 4 care enough to do something. Please don't be one of those people who just sit back hoping things will change. We need everyone's voice to be heard.


Here is the link you need to go to so you can find out when and where you NEED to be in Pensacola: Day Of Protest


It does not matter if you are gay, friends of the gays, or just someone that believes all people should be equal. We need you there. Please don't let the injustice continue.


STAND UP AND LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD AS ONE!

California Marriage Equality Vote Losing By 5 Points



We are losing the vote in California. This is not good for any of us. If California , one of the most open-minded states in America passes prop 8, then what hope is their for the rest of us?

Here in florida we are going to vote on amendment 2. Which takes the rights away from all unmarried couples stright or gay. Not that gay couples in florida have any rights as it is, but this will make it virtually impossibly for gays to have any kind of civil rights.

We need to do all we can to make sure that both do not pass. Unfortionaly this takes money. So please donate anything you can for the California adds or for the Florida adds. It does not matter if its a dollar or a hundred dollars. Every dime matters.

I know that money is very tight these days because of the economy. So if you can not donate please let everyone you meet know how important your rights are to you. write your newspaper, a blog, your parents and your friends. Make bulletins and put them up in your neighborhoods. Do what you can. We need all the help we can get from the gay community and friends of the gay community.

Lets make sure that no one takes our rights away!!!

Vote NO On Florida Amendment 2!!!!!!

I know this is just for Floridians, but Florida is where PETERPAN resides.

The god lovers and fag haters have gotten together to "protect" Florida's families from "The gays" getting married. Well, not true at all. The real reason behind this amendent is to block companies that provide benefits for unmarried partners -- regardless of whether such unions are homosexual or heterosexual.

I'm kinda glad this amendment is on the ballot. I think it will make stright people think and feel the way gay people do. Now, they will see what its like to have their rights taken away. Now maybe they will have a connection with us. Maybe now they will see all we want.... is our rights!

Take a look at this commercial that has been playing in Florida. Two old stright people talking about their rights getting taking away. Don't get me wrong, its kinda touching, but all they have to do is FUCKING get married. We can't do that. They have know idea. Well I will shut up long enough for you to watch this.



Oohhhh....Their rights might get taken away (sarcaism). I don't have any rights. If my partner goes to the hospital tonight I have no rights to see him. So yes Please vote No on 2. Not for the old dumbass couple that didn't get married, but for all of us that don't have any rights.

Thank you for listening or reading my drunkin rambling. NOW VOTE NO ON 2 (for the gays or the old people, I don't care as long as you vote no!)
