Civil Rights Alert: Prop 8 Ban on Same-sex Marriage Overturned
California re-legalizes gay marriage! You know the Religicrits are going to appeal and lose. It amazes me that the Nazi's anti-homosexuality mentality has been adopted by scarily powerful segments of our society. Hate-mongering for the sake of controlling the masses will work for a time, until they get pissed off. Or, until someone else gets pissed off and steps in.
The Religicrits are out for queer blood in the poorest nations of the world, places like Uganda where the Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009 sentences gay people to death. There are other countries that kill queers, today, right now. This isn't something that "used to" happen; it's something that is happening. Who will be next?
California = Same-sex marriage re-legalized
Uganda = Homosexuality illegalized; punishment is death penalty
Kind of makes the California win pale in comparison to the lives threatened by the actions of three Religicrits. Countless Ungandan queers face death because of a three day brain-washing tent revival held by so-called American Christians. You know, I'm genuinely scared.

Transpeople are Terrorists
Helium.com Debate: Should transgendered and transsexual individuals be protected by employment discrimination laws?
"I think transgenders or transsexuals should be treated as terrorists." This sentence was written by "M Pereira" and this is why we need to reach out by being employed and being around these types of close minded people. If I am a terrorist or a threat to anyone it would be myself because God knows I have sabotaged many a thing for myself over the years.

Gay Laws and Rights
Ok everybody, I am writing this blog because I want to know how everyone feels about gay marriage, employment non-discrimination act (ENDA), and other issues of queer importance. It might seem long, but bear with me.
I have noticed that all people and non-profits are fighting for equality in the name of gay marriage or other small topics. To achieve equality we need to seem "NORMAL" on the social playing field. Meaning that if society sees us as productive and "NORMAL" they will be more willing to give us all the things we seek for equality. Instead of society's current view of us as prostituting, drug using freaks applying for marriage, what if we fight for laws that allow us to work and be "NORMAL" first. Once we are seen by employers and co-workers as normal people and not those listed above maybe then we will get all those things we all want so very badly.
For an example, your new boss is an upright citizen, but thinks we are doing the devil's work and are one day going to hell because we are the downfall of America's morals. Yet, because of a law being passed you now work for him on a daily basis. Of course it will be tough at first, but once they see we are no different than anyone else they will start to think of us as being just as "NORMAL" as anyone else. Thus, by showing people who we are, rather than, telling them who we are will assure that someday we will be able to achieve all the things everyone else has achieved.

Call for LGBT Coming Out Stories
Are you a member of the non-heteromormative world? Did your lack of heteronormativity cause you to lose your family? Your friends? Your job? What happened when you reached this point? Was there someone you were able to turn to? Did someone help you out? Get you back on your feet?
The staff at the Adopt-A-Gay Foundation know first-hand the feelings of despair at losing family, friends, and careers because of non-heteronormativity. Fortunately, the staff at Adopt-A-Gay also know first-hand the enormous relief to be had when surrounded by those who have experienced loss through the Outing process. It is through coming together after Coming Out that we are able to overcome the deep depression which results from unreasonable social expectation.
When removed from an unwelcome environment many find new friends and occasionally are adopted into new families. The Adopt-A-Gay Foundation wants you to know we're all Family here. Please, leave a comment.
Share your Coming Out story and if you have an adoption story, we encourage you to contact the Editor at: altimagewritingco@gmail.com
Be sure to refer to "Coming Out/Adoption" in the subject line.
