Do laws really protect, I am not sure.

I am particularily discouraged today.  I am a Christian, I love God and Jesus Christ, but the "church" does not love me.  There is no place in the local churches for someone like me.

Last night my "wife" listened to Hal Lindsey show and heard him spew hate language towards this bill and towards us.  My wife laped it up like a cat would a saucer of milk.  I left the room a few times because I could not stand to sit there.  After the show was over, she commented, "should I rewind the show so you can see the parts you missed".  Like I could miss any of it, the sound was blasting.

I feel like I am being pushed into a corner from which there is no escape.  I am slowly losing the strength to continue to fight back.

Bush is going to Veto this anyhow. So ....its a small victory.

We need protection on our jobs. Not more protection against being murdered or beaten. There are plenty of laws in place making those things illegal. I'd rather be safe at my job.....If I have a place to work I wont be out in the danger zone.

HR1592 doesnt make any sense to me at all. We need ENDA.

Just noted the vid, thanks Susan! 

The Hoyer speech was fantastic, it literally made me cry when I read it. If only more people in this country had such an open mind.   

A small victory is still a victory...

And the passing of the bill proves that the majority of the congress has already shown they are in support of us as AMERICANS and not just "queers." If bush vetoes the bill, I could care less, because it will only prove that much more of a right wing, hypocritical bigot that he is... I highly doubt the next time the bill comes around (if it does get vetoed) that it would get vetoed again.

Now, I am just waiting on equal rights for us at work and for medical care....

I think I may be a bit premature in wishing for this... But, the bill I would like to see passed more than any other is one that would allow people in the military to be out. I guess because the love of my life, my fiance, is in the military and is going BACK to Iraq again soon... I pray to God every day for his safety so that I can see him again. Now if he is good enough to die for this country's, or for any country's, freedom, I will never understand why He and any other Soldier cannot simply come home and be proud to be with those they love...

Anyway, I will stop ranting....

Well this would be nice if it sticks. But, if anybody were to hurt my girl. Say kill her. I would make certain they wouldn't make it to trial.

   Are you feeling better, Sarah? I don't know if I missed a thread somewhere, but, if you'd like to, we can start one to maybe help you feel a little better.


Love,

Rebecca

Thank you Rebecca. 

Some days are worse than others, my "wife" (roommate or whatever anyone wants to call her) uses "religion" like a weapon just like so many pastors do.  They seem to miss the real meaning of the Bible and just use individual sentences to support their twisted views.

Sarah L.

That's a shame, Sarah.

   Maybe you can do the same for her by quoting lines from a source that you find inspiring. Please take care of yourself.
