But, you might say, they must have had other problems. I mean, the kid you just mentioned committed suicide only three days later. For that, I want you to take something into consideration:

This is not the only thing that happened to him. No matter what his sexual orientation was, he was effectively in the closet about sleeping with other men. I ( Read more... )

I stand by what I said earlier. We may have a black man going into the White House, but racism is still alive and well today.

Gay Protest Beatings

What kills me is that I know where this is. I used to *live* there. I probably know some of those people.

About a week or so ago, I had a forward sent to my e-mail to remind women of the trials our ( Read more... )

It's official.

Homosexuals are not allowed to marry in California, Arizona, or Florida.

Now we'll have to go back to separate drinking fountains and bathrooms, and fight for our rights to vote. We'll have to go to separate schools, to make sure being gay doesn't effect other people's children, because it's a disease, just like having colored skin. ( Read more... )

So ...

I've been in this super-bitchy mood lately, and I'm still trying to figure out exactly why. I've finally pinpointed when it started.

And this would be the latest post of Blowing Smoke, just before  I officially created this community.

And also, I was asked to explain my Blowing Smoke rant and just what it meant. I'm no longer responding to that certain person's e-mail, but I know that they're going to see this anyway because they're still reading my LiveJournal. So for anyone who ( Read more... )

This is the point in all my ranting in which things went bad.

Please don't let my experience frighten you away. That's why this is here: so you *still* have a place to talk, even if no one knows who ( Read more... )

This was the entry I posted shortly after the original Blowing Smoke went up. It leads into the next two.

The idea to eventually gather a collection of rants to publish as a book it still something I'd like to do. However more than that, the most important thing is establishing a place for people to meet online with their own rants. Which obviously ( Read more... )

Because this is a community that asks people to share their own troubles and hurt in their life, it stands to say that it should start with me. This is the original rant I posted in my own account that led into the beginnings of Life Sucks: But That's OK.

I hope it helps anyone else who's been at a similar point in their lives to know they're not ( Read more... )
