I have to say that ever since President-Elect Obama won his way into the White House, I have not been as happy as I should, I think? I am slightly angry as well, even at a time that I shouldn’t be happier, but I am not; I am slightly angry. I have been talking about it with my friends and family, trying to work it all out, and I have come to a conclusion. I am still pissed, sort of.

I am pissed that 48% of the country thought one of two things: I can’t vote for Obama since he is black or Muslim (which he is not), or Sarah Palin was qualified to be Vice President (or God forbid, President). And I don’t know which one is more scary. I can’t believe Obama did not win more of the majority. HE ONLY WON BY 51-52%! Obama couldn’t have had a more perfect environment for a landslide election, and yet, there was no landslide. Yea, he won a TON of electoral votes, nearly twice as much as McCain, but that doesn’t tell the real story.

The real story is we have a lot to work on. We have come a long way, but have a long way to go, still, and don’t even get me started on Proposition 8, and all the rest of the “I am afraid that gay people will affect me or influence my family” BULLSHIT. The “I can wear their clothes, eat their food, watch their movies, enjoy their shows, and have them come into my home to decorate it,” but God forbid they can get married?

That was not meant to stereotype gays, but that is an influence, right? I mean who do you think the politicians are wearing? Wrangler? Levi? NO! Try Versace, Marc Jacobs, Dolce&Gabbana! Some of the more gay of the gays. I don’t get it. They can influence their fashion, home, food, entertainment, but they cannot have a right to do something that in no way influences or affects them at all — marriage?!

So, let me get this right. We can overcome race which has been one of the darkest of our pasts, but not sexual orientation where a guys likes another guy or girl, a girl a “little too much.” Give me a break. These social conservatives that idiotically believe that somehow gays marrying each other are going to make their pathetic horrible marriage worse? How is that? Are we going to force gays to move in with them and have them share their toothbrush?

Again, an ignorant belief in a campfire fairy tale about a bearded white man born in the middle east (go figure, I am sure he would have been more, well, middle eastern looking or black) is used to contaminate society, and its politics. Forcing its way into the homes and families of unsuspecting, innocent people. When are we going to realize that our largest barrier in reaching a stable, peaceful and happier society is religion. These people need to stop using a theoretical being and his theoretical son as a façade for their xenophobia, bigoted and fearful ridiculousness.

I am not gay, but goddam it; I am pissed. I am not black, but goddam it; I pissed. I am not Muslim, but GODDAM IT; I am pissed. Oh, and Sarah Palin sucks. Okay, I feel somewhat better.

Here is a small portion of the article that help spark this rant:

I’m angry with Americans for transcending race, but not sexual orientation.

I’m angry with Barack Obama and Joe Biden for allowing their words to be used for anti-gay robocalls with their waffling on our relationships. While they corrected the record, it was too little too late.

I’m angry at being taken for granted by the Democrats. I’m angry I have to say, “But they’re better than the Republicans!” to excuse homophobia in the Party. I’m tired of being expected to support the Party’s agenda at the expense of my community’s.

I’m angry.

Yet, I’m resigned to continue beating my head against the wall. I will fight on. I believe in change and hope and equality and if my fellow citizens don’t want to share them with me and mine, I’ll keep fighting until they do.

I will not give up. I will not quit. I will not stop or pause or waver.

I will keep hope. Barack Obama won the election. Change will come.
