gay rights

"Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?" - Ernest Gaines

We would like to know who really believes in gay rights on livejournal. There is no bribe of a miracle or anything like that. If you truly believe in gay rights, then repost this and title the post as "Gay Rights". Thanks.

i was a very naive kid. the first time i ever heard of anyone being gay, it was when two girls at school told me, in horrified tones, that "Andy is gay!" they had to explain to me what that meant, and my immediate reaction was, "so what?"

it simply never occurred to me that there was anything wrong with (or even unusual about) being gay, or that people who happened to be gay should be treated differently from anyone else. i couldn't understand why those girls thought it was such a big deal. it just seemed obvious to me that it couldn't possibly make any difference in what sort of person they were.

oh. my. god.

Congress OKs setting aside $20 million for Iraq war victory parties. you know, just in case.

what. the. fuck?

cats are smart

apparently sensing that i was getting ready to crawl into bed and read for a while, Daddy-O parked himself on top of my book, twisted himself into an impossibly cute position, and is now gazing at me with an expression that clearly says, "you LOOOOOOOOVE me! you don't want to read, you want to PET me!"

have i mentioned recently how awesome my cats are? because they're really, really awesome cats.
