losing it with this failed administration...

I am so DAMN frustrated! I just sent this using the whitehouse.gov site. I'm not diluting myself and think anyone will actually read it but at least it felt sort of good.

Dear President Obama,

Your administration is filled with spineless fuckers, including you.

You perpetuate the mediocre  stalemate in which Americans are content to live. Your inaction regarding DODT comes after weeks of (publicized) homophobic violence and teen suicides. And this is what we get. Another "fuck you" from "liberal" Democrats.

Stop the DOJ request for an injunction! Head them off at the pass and end Don't Ask Don't Tell.

As a progressive gay man, I'm so tired of having to deal with your weak hand me downs and pandering. When will you begin to respect all Americans instead of just suck the teat of the center.

At the end of the day, no, you didn't. We've no universal health care, minimal improvement in STD/HIV prevention policies, no sweeping education reform, and a clearly failed international policy.

Woefully,

Greg Zhovreboff

 

For folks who are as frustrated as I am, please at least have a look at the party to which I belong: www.peaceandfreedom.org

California courts to rule on Proposition 8/Gay Marriage

I don't mean to add to the noise surrounding Tuesday's expected ruling on the constitutionality of Proposition 8 by the California Supreme Court; however, I did want to quickly share my elevator response to the rah-rah "we shall overcome" let's take to the streets messages I've been receiving on the various queer-based email lists. While I believe in the importance and, as a gay man, personal impact of allowing gays the right to marry in this Country, I also believe that marriage should not be the only issue that we as a queer community should take on as it seems we have in recent years. So, here is what I have to say:

I'll be finishing my shift at magnet and going home to either celebrate the victory or defeat over our community's desperate struggle and march towards mediocrity and endless-pusuit of a single-issue political brand!

It's bitter and cynical, but I have to say that I'm just about at wit's end with the over-simplicity and genericism (is that a word?) of our newest "struggle".
