So. It is a new year. Yes it is and sadly one of the 1st things I've seen of this new year has been this vast and spreading negativity towards gay people. I just read on Adam Lambert's twitter that some one called him a gay slur. I don't know Adam personally but I am offended for him. I take pride in my wife, in my life, in our love and I don't care what a bunch of small minded people think or feel about it. It is funny how we give the right to be married to fat jobless dudes with no teeth and a drinking problem who beat their wives but when I want to stand before god and my family and take vows with my wife I can only do so in a handful of states. America is supposed to be the best country in the world. We are supposed to be 'free' and live the dream but every day our dream gets voted down by the same group of close minded men and women who probably parented the homophobe on Adam's twitter. So what do we do? We make signs, we picket and protest and sometimes, we win but we should never, under any circumstance, give up hope.
Hope can drag us out of the dark, give us strength and the courage to hold our heads up high when we feel like the whole world is against us. Hope is that thing you have when you are sitting at your dinner table, choking down your food, terrified that if you tell your parents you are gay (they will hate you) (Or) they will still love you and it gives you the power to say those words, to gain that freedom, to free yourself, to find yourself. The fear of the unknown is what drives such things.
I think I have a cure for homophobia. I think every small minded man or woman needs to go get liquored up with their best same sex buddy and drop trough. Go ahead, have the experience. Feel guilty about enjoying it if that is who you are but for the love of God, get past your judgement and fear.
I don't care what it takes but I do hope one day the word 'free' will actually mean exactly that to every single one of us. I raise my glass tonight to the wonderful message Lady Gaga is sending out to the world. Her new album, titled Born this way, comes out in May I believe and I wish, really wish their were more positive people in the world who used their fame to say it is okay if others are gay. Gaga herself is reported to be bi-sexual and I thank God every day that she is out there and she's got our backs. Maybe with someone like her at the helm of our big gay party ship, maybe, just maybe we can crawl out of this dark age of homophobia and hatred and into a new age of love and understanding. Get to drinking, your boys are waiting.
