Elton John Is No Longer A Friend Of The Gays



Dear Mr. (Oops) Sir Elton John,

After your words about prop 8, with USA TODAY, I am going to suggest that the gay community bans you and your shitty out of date music. Why don't you do the gays here in America a big favor and hop on your big gay hatting piano and fuck off!


Here is what he had to say when asked about prop 8:

"I don't want to be married. I'm very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership," John says. "The word 'marriage,' I think, puts a lot of people off.

"You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships."

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!

Prop 8 For dummies

I know the election is over but there are many out there that were not able to see some of the shit that was on TV. Here is a video that makes me want to vomit and then eat it. I'm sure that would not leave such a bad taste in my mouth as this video did.

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!!!
