Stand Up, STOP BUSH!!!

The election is just around the corner. Gays have to make sure that George W. Bush the “big bully” will not run for office for four more years of divisive policies.

The whole gay community is against Bush and determined to prevent him by going to the ballots on Nov. 2.

America has an estimated 28 million homosexuals. The figure should be enough to stop Bush from winning the upcoming election.

American gays should be more active than they have ever been in opposing Bush.

Gay community leaders said the community felt insulted by the stance of the Republican administration and party, which at its national convention in September adopted a conservative platform strongly rejecting calls for gay marriage and abortion rights.

Seven states have scheduled votes on constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage. Efforts are under way to qualify initiatives in six more. George W. Bush used his Saturday radio address to urge support for the amendment. Worse, in the U.S. Senate, a preliminary vote is scheduled on an amendment that would ban same-sex marriages nationally.

Will you let this happen?

The damage that exclusion from marriage has done to gay lives and gay culture comes not just from being unable to marry right now and right here but from knowing that law forbids them to marry at all.

Gays know they deserve the same legal protections as heterosexuals. Anything less than nationwide recognition of same-sex marriage seems both unjust and impractical. That's why, they have to make sure noone is discriminated against.

So, what are you waiting for? Can you not feel the danger? Get on your feet now, cast your vote for Kerry. He has been one of the strongest supporters of gays in Congress, and he will offer Americans a fresh start of a hopeful future.

Love is What Makes A Family

“Is it better that a child remains in a dysfunctional, violent or homeless situation rather than be with people who are prepared to provide love, a home and education?”

Since when does the ability to love and nurture a child depend on gender? If people out there were to be honest with themselves, they would admit that a man and a woman does not make a family, love does.

Same-sex couples choose to have children. With other couples having a child that is sometime a “surprise” or a “mistake”, isn't it better to be a child that is placed into a home where it is wanted?

I believe that children need a loving, caring, and safe environment to grow up. Nothing else matters. They need to know and feel that they are loved. Anyone, no matter what sexual orientation or marriage status, that can provide this to a child should have the chance to fulfill those needs.

There are plenty of non-heterosexual couples who do a great job with this particular hard job. Gay adoption is not a gay rights issue. It's about the rights of the children to be loved and to have parents.

These days, there is a serious shortage of couples of any kind willing to adopt children.

It's time for the society to accept same-sex relationship and gay adoption. People with religious views might get upset with this idea. Well, “Screw them!” It's not like they will take care of those abandoned children and provide them with better care. Not only these people are very pessimistic about the human race, they are also prejudiced and ignorant.

There is not a shred of evidence suggesting any harm from a parent's sexual orientation. Research finding says that children of same-sex parents are as psychologically and emotionally healthy as those of heterosexual parents.

George W. Bush, gay adoption should be legal. Anything less is illegal and immoral.

If I Were Gay, I Would Not Vote For Bush

There are many reasons why gays shouldn't vote for President George W. Bush. To begin with, the Bush's administration repeatedly uses gay rights as a political tool to divide the nation What a shameful thing to do!

President Bush stated that he called upon the Congress to promptly pass, and to send to the states for ratification, an amendment to our Constitution defining and protecting marriage as a union of man and woman as husband and wife only. He said he wants to prevent the meaning of marriage from being changed forever; therefore, he must enact a constitutional amendment to protect the “sanctity of marriage” between men and women in America.

In addition, President Bush took a hard line against gay adoption during the 2000 campaign and has maintained it.

To make things worse, according to The Advocate, “George W. Bush has privately told friends that his fondest hope is to find a way to ban adoptions by gays.”

Senator John Kerry, on the other hand, believes that every American should have the opportunity to succeed and to live the American dream. Discrimination has no place in a nation founded on the principles of freedom.

Kerry will use the power of the White House to support equal rights for all Americans, including gay Americans. Kerry said that there is no need for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. He will find a way to provide all American families with full and equal rights.

One of Kerry’s first acts as a U.S. Senator was to introduce a bill prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. He supports passage of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, and has adopted a nondiscrimination policy for his Congressional offices based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Kerry believes that same-sex couples should be granted rights, including access to pensions, health insurance, family medical leave, bereavement leave, hospital visitation, survivor benefits, and other basic legal protections that all families and children need.

So, now you know who you will vote for. Not Bush.

A Material “Selfish Hedonist”

“I think the American people deserve to know he is willing to sell out his daughter for votes. It says something about his characters”

Mary Cheney, 35, is one of the two Vice President Dick Cheney's daughters. An open lesbian, Mary is a slightly awkward reality for a family identified with conservatives family values.

Republican candidate for an Illinois seat in the U.S. Senate, Alan Keyes, described homosexuality as “selfish hedonism” and confirmed Mary Cheney as a “selfish hedonist” by definition during an interview with a radio station.

Mary held a public role as her father's assistant in the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign.

After her father became a veep, Mary joined the gay-friendly Republican Unity Coalition and gave speeches encouraging the Grand Old Party, US Republican political party, to reach out to women, minorities and gays.

“We can make sexual orientation a nonissue for the Republican Party, and we can help achieve equality for all gay and lesbian Americans”, she said in an April 2002 statement.

Mary also helped the GOP recruit gay voters during the 2002 midterm elections.

DearMary.com is a news web site targeting Mary to pressure her to use her influence inside the Bush administration. The site calls Mary out for being “silent since her father endorsed anti gay constitutional amendments making her and millions of Americans second class citizens”.

Within an hour of its launch on Feb. 13, the site attracted 100 emotional letters pleading with her to weigh in against a constitutional amendment. In the letters on the site, gays have a lot of hope that Mary would stand by them. The community believes that Mary, as an open lesbian who has worked for years as a public advocate for gay civil rights, has a unique position to defend herself and her gay community.

But when Mary joined the 2004 campaign last year as director of vice presidential operations for the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign, she quit the coalition and seemed to fade into her own undisclosed location.

Mary Cheney has answered the call by running anti gay dad's re-election campaign in exchange for 100,000/year.
