Our President
Hi. You may, or may not be a homosexual reading my lj (revival or not).
I am not especially happy with our president for his silence on serious gay rights issues on the ballot this past election, but this blog post I think cuts to the chase. We queers don't have an advocate in the whitehouse, and we were never really told that we did. Obama was never for the actual fight we're in, so we should give up on him, and fight for ourselves. Who knows, maybe the Republicans, when they get cut off by their tea bagger base, will need a new minority to patronize. If the Democrats can't do anything for the progressive agenda with the majorities they have now, then I'm not really interested in continuing to support them. I'm not just talked about GBLT rights, OK? All of it. They have a disgusting, intransigent foe in the GOP, but they really should be able to get shit done with their majorities. What do we need? 90 senators and 390 reps to get something done? Sorry, that's not going to happen. I'd rather let the teabaggers have their way and wind up living in Water World. I have faith that I would become a mer-person like Kevin Costner. Perhaps that would be the beautiful gay revenge on straight bigots, that we are the ones who grow gills and can live in a watery world. Sorry, friendly straights, but you would just have to suffer
Anyway, Al Gore was on The Daily Show tonight, and it reminded me that I actually do like him better than Obama, and am still sad he a) lost in 2000, and b) did not run in 2008. He also looked great. He;s lost a lot of weight, seemed easy and confortable, etc. etc. I just wish Stewart had grilled him about what a fuck his former runningmate, Lieberman, is.
