Releasing Steam

I often find myself alone on my balcony gazing up into the sky thinking about the world and the awful state that it is in. Every time I turn on the television there is news of famine and war….the troubles in Iraq, the bombings in Georgia…I ask myself so many times where is God while all of this is going on? Is he somewhere idly standing by as life erodes slowly into an abysmal ciaos? I do not know what to think anymore….the days roll by and it seems as if nothing ever really changes.
I live in America, The Great Free Nation….yet I am not free. I am a citizen by birth , yet I am not afforded all of the privileges in which it ensues. I work. I pay taxes the same as everyone else, but I am halted in my pursuit of happiness. I am denied rights simply because of whom I chose to love. The freedom of choice is such an irony.
In the past few days I have read so many horrible stories about families being ripped apart. Stories where loving committed partners are being forced to choose between the ones that they love and the country which they love. I get so damn angry at all of the injustices heaped upon my Gay & Lesbian brothers and sisters.
Our only hope at combating this blatant discrimination lies in the passage of the UAFA, The United American Families Act. If this bill becomes law it would allow us Gays & Lesbians the right to sponsor our committed life partner for US citizenship. I pray each night that whomever our next President may be that he has a compassionate heart, and that he realizes that we the LBGT community are human beings. We laugh, cry, love , and bleed the same as everyone else…
