Ok soooo I just got back from a fireworks display and prior to the fireworks they had some band singing and spouting all of this religious stuff and talking about how proud we are to be Americans.

Now don’t get me wrong, for the most part, I’m happy about where I live…BUT I find it very hard to be a super, happy American when bullshit like what’s going on WISCONSIN is happening in the United States of America!   Yeah, they tell us to thank the people who fight for our country in the military…..well the truth of the matter is, they are fighting for MOST of America, but they ain’t fighting for US (hell we ain’t even allowed to be in the military if we are gay or lesbian!)  I know, I know you are probably thinking I have a bad attitude….but the truth is that we need to SPEAK UP and quit letting the rest of the world act as if this is the greatest friggin country in the world when our country is so friggin assbackwards it’s not even funny!   I mean seriously…..we have a man running for President (McCain) who doesn’t believe in EQUAL RIGHTS FOR EVERYONE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  What kind of bullshit is that when someone running for PRESIDENT doesn’t even believe that everyone in the state should have the same rights??

Ok ok enough of that…back to Wisconsin.  GLBT couples could face criminal charges if they get married out of state.  Apparently, there is a state law that was created to prohibit underage kids from crossing state lines and marrying and it could be interpreted to apply to gay and lesbian folks as well.

And the penalty??   A $10,000 fine, up to 9 months in prison….OR BOTH!   Unfknbelievable.  WAKE UP AMERICA!
