A brave new world...?

Saturday marks a big day for gay and Lesbian couples as Connecticut becomes a rainbow state by allowing civil unions. While I am happy for them, I do have to wonder what kind of backlash is going to be created by the DOMA morons and the rest of the religious right.

We are currently lucky enough to live in a state that is willing to take a step like this. As for transexuals we have hate crime legislation, that while it is a little more than window dressing is also a step towards a better world. I am worried to an extent that the whole civil union issue might rally the religious right with their white robes and hoods in their closest in trying to take things back.

We also have to worry about "monkey boy" and the fact that he is about to appoint not only 1 but 2 people into the supreme court. I do admit that yes I did vote for him the first time, and I didn't regret it then, he was a much better choice than Gore was, but I thought he went too far, and voted for Kerry the last election. It scares me that he has a problem keeping his religion and his duties separate. I know he thinks he's doing it for the good of society,not hate, but he also thought there were WOMD in Iraq. If he gets 2 conservatives into the highest court in the land we could be looking at all the advances the GLBT community has gotten over the last few years fade away like wisps of smoke.

We all have to remember history in how people with supposedly good intentions have really fucked things up for society. The Catholic church killed many people in the name of God for simply refusing to worship their God. The Muslims extremists are doing it today. Napoleon conquered a big part of Europe in trying to build a better world.Hell white folks took poor savages out of Africa and saved them by bringing them here and teaching them about Jesus, of course we treated them like farm animals in return of all we did for them.(mighty white of us) Hilter brought Germany out a major depression, and rebuilt so much in that country before starting his ultimate agenda. So many Germans who thought it was all for the greater good gave up right after right until there were no rights left. Then Hitler proceeded to make his psychotic fantasies a gruesome reality. In our own country don't forget how scared we were of the red menace and how we let McCarthy ruin many innocent peoples lives in trying to protect the country.

It doesn't matter what your political beliefs or religion are, absolute power corrupts, it has happened too many times in human history to name all the times it has been proven so. I think we need to tread carefully before we piss off the religious right so much that they are willing to getting rid of us at any cost and we all suffer.

Myself I am happy that we are making strides in our state and in our country. I am though not going to any rallies, not having any parties. Instead I chose to sit smugly content knowing that we have made another milestone, and know that there are many to go on this long trip. We must remember not to try to get ahead of ourselves, and take things one step at time.

Love to all, and of course g'nite.
