Sesame Street Does Glee

This is Sooooooooo GAY. Which is the only G word they did NOT say.
Thank you Sesame Street. Good Job!
I can't wait for comments from the Hate Groups.

Perry's Right Arm Was Tired


From joemygod.com comes this great picture and better question.

See how he doesn't even bother to put his hand on his heart during the national anthem? Remember all the screaming in 2007 when our current Commie-In-Chief did the same thing? Washington Monthly asks:
"Will the picture of the Republican candidates lead to widespread questions about Perry’s patriotism? Will be it be shown, over and over again, on cable news? Will the Texas governor be asked for an explanation? Or is there some quality about Perry and Obama that makes the former’s patriotism beyond reproach and the latter’s suspect?"

White Boys Kill Black Man - Very Sad

One would think in this day an age that this kind of mind set would be gone.  There is no excuse for killing a person. To pick out a target just because of the color of their skin is unforgivable.
Why must people hate? I hope they both get life.

The Daily Show Does DADT - Funny

GMA Covers Airmans Coming Out

VERMONT: Sailor Marries As Clock Strikes The Official End To DADT

From joemygod.com.......

Moments after the clock struck the official end to DADT, last night an active duty Navy officer married his husband in Vermont.
When Navy Lt. Gary Ross and his partner were searching for a place to get married, they settled on a site in Vermont, in part because the state is in the Eastern time zone. That way, the two men were able to recite their vows before family and friends at the first possible moment after the formal repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Just after midnight Tuesday, the partners of 11 years were married. "I think it was a beautiful ceremony. The emotions really hit me, but it's finally official," Ross said early Tuesday. Ross, 33, and Dan Swezy, a 49-year-old civilian, traveled from their home in Tucson, Ariz., so they could get married in Vermont, the first state to allow gays to enter into civil unions and one of six that have legalized same-sex marriage.
Thanks to DOMA, Ross' new husband is still not entitled to health care or to most of the benefits extended to the heterosexual spouses of service members.

DADT Will be History in the Morning



As of 12 midnight, Don't Ask Don't Tell will be a thing of the past.
This is a step in the right direction for the LGBT population of this country. When America sees that our soldiers can get along, maybe more minds will be changed.
Thanks to ALL our brave troops!
This means tomorrow I will be able to put Danny and Ali's pictures up on my art site and blog!

The Many Anniversaries of a Lesbian Couple

Today is the 6th anniversary of the day we met. 
Many couples remember the day, time, or place they met and that is fine. I don't think it needs to be on the list of things requiring a gift. My wife does. I can live with that.

Tomorrow is the 5th anniversary of the day we had our commitment ceremony
Str8 couples seldom have commitment ceremonies because they can get married. Us LGBTers have been committing ourselves in some kind of service for a very long time because we can't.

Now, some of Us can get hitched and May 10th 2010 is the day we were legally wed.
This is the day that most married couples celebrate and see as the beginning of their life as one and over time the other dates are just a memory.

I remember the day we met.....Oh those blue eyes and that dimple.........

I remember the day we went to DC and had the same civil service as the rest of you and how historic it was for us as a couple and as a minority.  She was so beautiful........

The day I gave my heart to the woman I love is the one I wish to hold dearest.
It was in an art gallery owned by some good friends while surrounded by 50 more friends and family. The day was sunny and warm. The tables all set with fall flowers in hand painted pots and candles. The food was awesome thanks to my baby brother and the cake was perfect thanks to my oldest son.
We were very nervous, having only walked thru the service once but we knew it by heart and trusted the Priestess who was conducting it.
....I hope I don't forget the vows I wrote....
We held hands and were bound together body and soul..."for as long as love shall last" which is the long form for Pagans.

Tomorrow is the 5th year of our lasting love and it is stronger than the first.
We have been up and down and sometimes sideways. Life is different than it was. The love is different as well. Better, deeper, forgiving.

I love you my Mrs.
Happy Anniversary.
