JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR

If you think that my equality under the law - MY CIVIL RIGHTS - is legitimately and appropriately the subject of a vote...

If you think that LGBTQ people shouldn't have the right to marry people of their choosing or be protected from things like job and housing discrimination...

GET OUT OF MY LIVING ROOM.

This journal is that living room, and I am not here to entertain you while also begging for crumbs of respect.

It was on my friendslist. It is not longer on my friendslist. Obviously, my public entries are accessible for anyone who wants to read them and civil discourse (of which I have a pretty broad definition) is always welcome here. However, I don't want people being all "well, see, I read her stuff, I'm not a bigot" or "well, she's entertaining eventhough she's queer" or whatever other bullshit I'm sure someone or other is thinking going on. Obviously, people are gonna do what they are going to do, but I'm so pissed right now!

What gets me is how is your sexual orientation got ANYTHING to do with whether you are entertaining, or have relevant information to say. You are most definitely not here for our "entertainment" and being in your living room as such is a privelege.

You link us good information, letting us do our own research and bring your opinions, your thoughts, emotions and life experiences (which sometimes, is in relation to your orientation) to the table for us to read and discuss with you in your living room. Thankyou for doing so and being so open with us.
