Mr.Smithers Goes To Washington!

I may be a little late on this one but last Sunday in Washington DC thousands of marchers rallied in support of gay rights. Actually, I prefer the term "human rights". Considering the last rally held in DC a month before was in support of themselves by a bunch of self-involved teabaggers chanting how everybody must kneel in front of me, me, me, this one was actually for a cause, not a big circle jerk by easily led lemmings.

Human rights are kind of a big deal. Throughout the years, millions of people, handicapped by birth, have had to raise hell to get straight,white men to allow them the same, not extra, the same rights granted to white men by those so-called geniuses who founded the nation. Women, blacks, Indians, children, Asians, Hispanics, and gays and lesbians are the people, born exactly as described, yet who have had to fight for those rights. Though racism, sexism, and hatred of youth still exists, those folks have made a lot of progress over the years. The gay community, well that's a bit different. Thanks to religion, self hatred, and a whole lot of repression, this seems to be the only group of human beings it's still okey dokey to discriminate against and still feel good about yourself. Sickos, perverts, anti-family, and a whole lot of slurs I am not into are acceptable in this society. Most dumb people think the worst insult you can throw at somebody is to call them gay, in a far more crude manner. Wow. That's really deep. You may as well look at a giraffe and tell it "well you're a hippo". Morons.

Anyway, I'm rambling as usual but the point here is this. Human rights are for humans. It's about time humans in power started realizing that. I have no doubt, hopefully in my lifetime, that gays and lesbians will be thought of as "that guy next door" or that "married couple down the street" or " that guy is a dick" without the g or l word being used.

The acceptance is coming. Just remember, it is not cool to be a bigot. Jump on the train where you can tell everybody, yeah I was with them way back when it wasn't cool. Human rights for all.
Now!
