Don’t let the word “Christian” scare you, this is a really great group that supports all people and shares the love.

I’ve signed the petition and let my voice be heard.
Here’s how You can too.

Wednesday, October 11, 2006 is National Coming Out Day.

Here’s a little info, directly from the HRC website, about the ‘Talk about it’ campaign:

You know how they say a picture is worth a thousand words? Well, I took a Snapshot the other day that is now part of an online public art project.

The project from the Human Rights Campaign celebrates gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and straight Americans who support living openly and having conversations about the things that make us all different — and just as importantly, the ways that we are all the same.

To view my picture, and many others (including a rock star, a former Star Fleet captain and many other open, honest people) — simply click on this link: http://www.hrcsnapshot.org

01) Being gay is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

02) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

03) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

04) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn’t changed at all; women are still property, blacks still can’t marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

05) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed; the sanctity of Britney Spears’ 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

06) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children. Gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn’t be allowed to marry because our orphanages aren’t full yet, and the world needs more children.

07) Obviously gay parents will raise gay children, since straight parents only raise straight children.

08) Gay marriage is not supported by religion. In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That’s why we have only one religion in America.

09) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home. That’s why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.

10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms. Just like we haven’t adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.

Re-post this if you believe love makes a marriage.

Great subject Fluxxy.
I agree the prospect of a paycheck is what drives us all to one degree or another. The creative arts are no different than any other corporate venture with one very large exception. A person in their creative prime outputting what their soul is feeling is pure beauty, a gift to us all.
Some will later choose to profit monetarily from their creation or had planned on it from the onset. I can’t blame them.

Technical creativity is no different than creating music, paintings or cinematics.
Creating games be it board, arcade, console or PC can be as painstaking and artful as using a canvass and paint.
The utensils have matured but the human condition is the same.
When we feel pain and desperation we produce a game like Grand theft or a painting like A starry Night. when we feel sexy and amorous we choose to design lingerie, paint ballerinas like Degas, or choose to shake our moneymaker on MTV.

Yes the Entertainment industry IN AMERICA is pushing the limits because we’ve made it so Taboo. Our natural urges and desires are what make us human. Americans are lost and confused. If we stopped judging our fellow mans morality and instead embraced him, loved him and forgave him there would be no envelope to push, no taboo.

I read this article pretty carefully and as open-minded as I could. My opinion didn’t change. The right-wing conservative powers care nothing for our civil liberties or our judicial processes.
The worst part is they’re only able to accomplish such arrogance with the majorities help.
The majority being Americans scared of they’re own Freedom. To be free and have free-will would require one to take responsibility for their actions and their futures. No one to blame for their failures or miscalculations.

I just left my doctors and refilled my prescription. What this means is I now have an attention span and can write.
O.k I have an attention span but still can’t write.
I need a new drug, Prescription drug of course because if it doesn’t come from a doctor you’ve paid $150 to for 15mins of their time then it’s a crime and your scum.
Fortunately for me I have insurance to cover my dealers…I mean doctors fee.
this is not a rant against the psychiatric community it’s more of a rant about society as a whole. My father said it best with an editorial called Elitist. I am an elitist. I try not to be but struggle with my disgust at the meth addict with no teeth or the pot head from high school that is now a coke addict and still working at the local bar. I do feel superior to these people while I take Adderall like it’s candy and stay up all night playing Zuma. I have alot of growth ahead of me.

Elitist

Elitist thinking plays a major roll in the perpetuation of the failed drug war. The temporary escape of drugs from a life filled with difficulty, poverty, hate and self-loathing is truly intoxicating. For the desperately poor the money from drug sales is an equally intoxicating temptation.

For lives devoid of these miseries the problem is distant and hard to understand. The old expression “driven to drink” is just a colloquialism to most elitists. They are not tempted to risk all that they have with illegal drugs. To them it is nothing more than weakness. They see a difference between taking their prescribed Valium to cope with the stress in their lives and a homeless man smoking a joint under a bridge for the same reason.

Drug abuse is not choosing between lawfulness and criminality, it is choosing a fleeting alternative to despair over the relative slight possibility of punishment in a free society. No matter how draconian these punishments the abuse of drugs continues, as does human misery. Difficult lives become impossible, not because of drugs but because of the drug war.

The elitists see only laws, crime, and punishment. They do not see their position in life as superior they see themselves as superior. They then use their superior position with the government to visit even more misery on the miserable. If these elitists are truly superior then why can they not see how wrong they are?
