The irony of faith
When you need it the most it is the most lacking.
I really do not need this
So my mom apparently had been feeling dizzy today and decided to go to the doctor with my dad, while standing in the doctor’s office she passed out for no explainable reason. So now she’s in the hospital, and no one really knows what is wrong yet.
I really don’t know what to do about this. Just… ugh, fuck.

“
The leaders of the LGBT movement have done us a disservice for far too long by avoiding the impolitic reality that being queer is about who we love, how we have sex, and how we choose to express our bodies. Instead, they argue for our civil rights under watered-down pretenses. To hear them tell the tale, we deserve health care and an end to hate-fueled violence just because “we can’t help how we’re born.” We deserve job protections or marriage rights because we’re “just like everyone else.”
In fact, we deserve all of this and more simply because it’s nobody’s business what we do with our bodies as long as we’re not hurting anyone. Arguing otherwise forces us into a posture where we’re apologizing for our own existence — promising that we’ll take up as little space as possible in exchange for whatever considerations the heterosexual majority can spare. Is it any wonder we’re still struggling to overturn a policy called “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”?

Universal truth.

My throat still feels like crap, but I’ve got the sexy phone operator voice from my chest congestion. I love my voice like this even if I feel like crap otherwise, haha.
No time off goes unpunished
I’m ridonkulously busy so far today.

Gay Bar Raided, Arrests Made in Texas →

People needed to start throwing bricks.Police in Fort Worth, Texas raided a gay bar early on Sunday morning, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, arresting seven people and resulting in one serious injury. The raid at the Rainbow Lounge occurred on the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in New York City.
Fort Worth police say they conducted a routine alcohol beverage code inspection on at least one other bar that night, and that the arrests at the Rainbow Lounge were for public intoxication. Police say some of the patrons arrested made “sexually explicit movements” toward officers.
Witnesses disputed the police account and said that officers used excessive force. They report that one patron was hospitalized with a fractured skull as a result of the raid.
More than 100 protestors gathered at the county courthouse on Sunday to rally and demand an investigation into the raid.
Happy Pride.

You just brought me the lulz.Coincidence that this happens on the same day as the White House reception for LGBT leaders?
Not fair
I feel like something crawled into my throat and died today. It’s not fair because it’s not like my mouth saw any action yesterday other than screaming and throwing back iced tea vodka.
