Lots of things are making me either angry or weepy lately. I have never and will never be able to understand how people can live their lives in ignorance and stupidity and fear of anything different. And it's the willful, stick your fingers in your ears kind of ignorance, too. People who immigrate to this country know more about its history than most of the people who were born here, no one has to actually know what's on a ballot or have any understanding of issues or what's at stake to vote, and the mainstream media are letting the right wing get away with murder, in a couple of cases, quite literally.
The Kids' Choice Awards had a category for Choice Gay, although they don't actually call it that. One side of me is happy about it, that kids are being exposed to different kinds of people in a mainstream kind of way, and the other half is shaking my head at the hypocrisy of this country. It's like gays have become the new minstrel show in so much of the country...they can sing and dance for our pleasure and entertainment, but don't, God Forbid!, give them any rights.
I want the President to stop pretending like non-partisanship will work. Honestly, if you keep trying to play fair when the other side is cheating, you are a fool and will lose in the end.
Oh, and my personal life is going to hell in a handbasket...so, fun times there. There is one thing for sure...love stinks.
