After 234 Fucking Years, LGBT Americans Want Their Federal Civil Rights.

[David Zephyr]

234 fucking years of American "history" and we still don't have even our basic civil rights!

234 fucking years and we still have no employment protection and we are fired for who we are.

234 fucking years and we are not protected in basic housing rights.

234 fucking years and we can not adopt children and in many states can not even keep our children.

234 fucking years and our LGBT youngsters are bullied, harrassed and murdered every fucking day.

234 fucking years of our "unions" being not protected under the law.

234 fucking years of not being able to watch our beloved die in a hospital.

234 fucking years of everyone else putting other priorities in front of us.

234 fucking years of our LGBT sisters and brothers fighting in your stupid fucking wars and then been discharged for carrying a single photograph of their beloved.

234 fucking years of being blackmailed, of being snitched on, of being tossed to the streets.

234 fucking years of being preached to, made to feel like shit from our earliest memories.

234 fucking years of being promised to and lectured to by "liberals" to have "patience".

234 fucking years of political betrayal.

234 fucking years is 234 fucking years too long.

1. Listen you idealistic purist, you aren't going to get anywhere without some compromise.

So sit back and be happy with what we give you.

2. Well may I make a suggestion?

When women where fighting for the right to vote, a group of them, known as the Silent Sentinels, stood outside the White House for 3 years day and night. This made Woodrow Wilson pass them and notice them every time he left the White House. Those women where hard core, but I don't see anything like that today. I know what your going to say, you shouldn't have to fight for whats right, and I agree with you, but unfortunately for every step forward we take, we have to fight tooth and nail for.
