Live For Today 's Columbus Ohio Story
Well, at @1pm as I was driving thru the torrential rains, high gusty winds n plummetting temperatures, I began to think, "Who's bringing the Ark?" It had poured for almost 24 hours straight, no not sprinkle, torrential downpours. To make matters worse the winds had picked up, but nothn was stopn me from banding w/the entire Nation, at exactly the same time, 1:30pm, in every city, to let our voices b heard., or worse case scenerio, "SWIM W/da FISHES!" (Jk) I was prepared! I had my hat, windproof pants, n My yellow Mickey Mouse Rain Parka! You know the one! The 1 u pay 4 while gettn drenched at Disney World so that u can experience the "magic of it all!" Upon exiting, I thought I'd do it up right, so I parked my vehicle in the State House! Interesting, never parked there b4 n unlike Oprah Winphreys green room? This floor was GREEN! I grabbed mickey, my camera, signs, shades, n off I went. As I approached broad street from the underground it was almost symbolic! There I was, wind blowing, me n my bright yellow mickey rain poncho, the rain beatn me in my face, n off towards, what's that? The "POSSE!" Yup the officers on horseback..."Off to the races!" lol As I walked up the Courthouse, I noticed several others who too braved the elements to take a stand, come together, across the Nation in support of every American having the same rights n freedoms as every1 in the USA! Many do not support marriage, or civil unions, heck most of the straight people don't either by the divorce rates! (
) However, every American should have the same freedoms/equal rights as every1. A choice, a dream, an opportunity 2 decide 4 themselves like every1 else n not told, "oops, sorry, ur gay..lesbian, or oops sorry, "ur short, tall, black, white..." discrimination is discrimination. Many of us remember earlier years, Stonewall, AIDS, n when our partner passed, the families had no regards to there partner. No regards, no rights, if u lived together 20 years? They took care of u, etc? Then passed.."OOps! Sorry...u lose, no rights, family or state took everything..the home, savings, there life together like it didnt even happen. Could u imagine sayn to ur parents, "OOps! Sorry, ur straight, or wrong color, u lose, family takes house, etc..kicks u to the curb w/o any remorse, or respect, or acknowledgement of therelives together? Whether u b friends, lovers..u should b able to leave whatever u wish to whomever, gay ,straight,--heck Hemmingway left millions to 6 toed cats in Key West! Discrimination is discrimination. We r all Americans n we all deserve the "choice of marriage, civil unions, " if we choose, just like the choices straight, African, Italian, etc. every1 has, but us. It's about freedom to choose marriage, a will, estate planning, children under who's care if something unforeseen happens. We r just as capable of everything like everyone else. Equal not "special" rights. If u r a family member of some1 who passes u still inherit as designated, even if, "YOURE GAY?LESBIAN!" from parents, siblings, etc...A will...Clearly, Y r gay couples, friends, lovers, excluded? Ur not excluded from ur straight maybe dysfunctional family?Lack of Education..fear..."Just because?" It was a family event today, children, couples, students, gay, straight, every color of the rainbow, a very diverse yet controlled march/rally! No violence! No need! It's pretty simple, n clearly u don't have to b a rocket scientist..."EQUAL RIGHTS 4 EVERY AMERICAN!" It's Time 4 Change! Our Time is Now! Our voices were heard! YES, WE CAN all Live the American Dream! EQUALITY 4 every 1 of us! Even u! Peace! Thx 4 a peaceful, march! YES! WE CAN!
