Makin' the best from the end of 2012!
It certainly has been a topsy-turvy year. On the plus side, we see Barack Obama and Joe Biden forcefully championing LGBT folks. On the minus side, we see such great sadness in Aurora and Newtown.
So, as the year ends, you might be wondering what difference you can make. The year is almost over, right?
But you can make a difference. You can send an e-letter to your Congressperson or MP. Let them know that LGBT people are watching - and they vote. Whether Democratic or Republican, you can put the feet on the fire.
It's true, 2012 is almost over. But you can make a difference, and you will feel so much better inside.
And as for what is coming, happy New Year!

Can I have another?
OK, so I've been a long-winded woman advocating LGBT rights. But think about this: an elderly woman, Edie Windsor, already sorrowful about the loss of her partner, has to pay 363,000 dollars in estate taxes.
Well, how about if Edie Windsor had married a man?
Then she would owe nothing.
This is but one of many appalling travesties.
And this is why I urge you to urge you to e-write your congressperson. Please do so.

Congratulations! You have been named Asshole of the Year!
Credit: Danziger
You know, sometimes people don't give enough credit to selecting the Asshole of the Year. This year was quite a difficult one, picking out that person who possesses those special qualities which shout out "Hey! I'm a person who truly possesses those qualities of an asshole!" I thought my search was in vain for the year 2012.
Then along came Wayne LaPierre, who deservedly, no, most deservedly qualified for the moniker "asshole". My god, he is an asshole.
For those of you not in the know, I'll let you read the fine Mercury News editorial. If you feel so moved, go to www.house.gov, enter your ZIP code, then e-write your congressperson in favor of sensible gun control.
And Wayne, thank you for coming out with some of the most vapid, idiotic, and moronic statements I have ever seen. You do more to advance sensible gun control than you will ever know.

Normally, I've been requesting that you send an e-letter to full rights for LGBT people. Sadly, these are not normal times.
Twenty children were murdered in Newtown, Connecticut.
Six adults were also murdered.
It took about twenty minutes.
I wrote my Congressperson, John Larson who has failed to write me back... (ahem...) when the last slaying took place in Aurora, Colorado, and I wrote saying that this is of the utmost importance: Congress must ban automatic and semiautomatic weapons.
Whether it's one person or fifty who is slain, we can stop this wholesale slaughter. But only if you e-write. Please.

From sea to shining sea... and north to the Arctic!
In Canada, things are generally better for LGBT folks than here than in the US. (In states such as South Carolina, Mississippi, and Alabama, they're way better.) But there are irksome spots. What Canadian LGBTs want to do is to amend their constitution.
Jillian Page, who writes for the Montreal Gazette, has graciously allowed me to put in Canadian Members of Parliament along with US House of Representatives.
But now it's your turn! Whatever side of the line you are on, it's your responsibility to let these people know that you expect respect, and it should be written into the constitution.

It's time to send Nutcase Norquist to bed... or the looney bin
Nutcase Norquist has been around for a long, long time, mostly in the shadows. I think, though, that his coming-out party has proved to be a giant dud. And so much the better.
For those of you who aren't in the know, his premise is quite simple. No money should be added to the federal budget, ever, ever, ever. Sounds good, right? On the surface,yes, it does. But then, things happen. Buildings fly into skyscrapers. Roads and bridges fall into disrepair. A little virus named AIDS comes to call. Hurricane Sandy does her thing directly over New York City. And on. And on.
What does this have to do with us transgender folks? Damn plenty. As long as goobers walk the streets, a policeman around can definitely make you feel safer. And you should feel safe. I'm not saying that a policeman should be at every corner, twenty-four hours a day, 365 a year. What I am saying, though, is when suspicious folks are are around and about, she or he will warn them that if they try anything, they will go to jail. Period.
But not if Nutcase Norquist has his way. It doesn't matter if all you transgenders are killed. Or tortured. Or raped. He has his precious greenbacks to line his pockets.
It's time to tell him to fuck off.

Let DC have a REAL vote (for a change)
In 2010, Wyoming had a population of 563,626.
During the same time, Washington DC had a population of 617,996.
Wyoming enjoys all the rights and liberties of a state. Washington DC does not.
Get it? Nah, neither do I.
I don't give a flying fart whether Washington DC residents are mostly Democratic, Republican, Green, independent, A Connecticut Party...whatever. They have the right to choose what any other American chooses. Period. Get this done. Now.

Let 'em have it - by e-mail!
A few things to remember; as I said before, the House of Representatives has an election every two years, and they had one this past Tuesday. If your representative's mark "www.smith.gov" has a hash mark(#) next to it, it probably means that he/she is serving his last term. However, until she/he gives up the seat formally (usually the first week in January) she/he continues the seat in November and December. Therefore, it's considered proper etiquette to address the current member, not the future one.
In brief: Let all LGBT people have the same rights as heterosexual people do, and let them be universal.

The House of Reps changes...
Every two years, the House of Representatives must face re-election. This will be done in less than a week, on Election Day. Please remember to vote for these as well!
01 November 2012
Let 'em have it - by e-mail!
I'm one of the lucky few - I live in the Northeast. Many of those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender aren't so fortunate. This isn't a matter of "conservative" or "liberal" - it's a matter of basic human rights. The right to marry. The right to hold hands. The right to comfort each other. The right to visit the other partner in the hospital. The right to say a final farewell in the cemetery.
Y'know, little stuff like that.
Tell your representative that you want these rights to be universal and irrevocable. PERIOD.

easiest e-mail... EVER!
Okay, okay... so five minutes is too much. Here's a handy-dandy e-letter you can paste onto your representative's blog, and send it off!
*****
Dear (representative's name)
I am writing to you because I am concerned about the future of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) rights.
The vast majority of these people are hard working, peace-loving persons. This is why I find it so hard to believe that a majority of our representatives would not allow same-sex people to marry. They would not allow visits of people who love each other if the family objects. They even would not allow visits to a gravesite to say a final farewell.
I am strongly in favor of a nationwide guarantee of rights for all Americans. These are egregious wrongs, and they MUST be righted.
Sincerely,
(your name)

Just be careful: "ex-gay", "ex-transgender", and "ex-lesbian" meetings look great, but they'll take your money and build false, unrealistic hopes. By reaching out, you can be happy!

Why you should vote - even if it's a gimme
Let's say you live in New York or California. Or on the other side, you live in Texas or Arkansas. There are other states that will contest this race hotly - but not yours. Why can't I just skip this race, you ask. The answer is the underticket. They answer your questions and gripes much more personally. With a bit of effort, you can meet this woman or man face-to-face. Whether you want the candidate or his/her opponent, you have a heck of a better chance winning locally than nationwide.
Guarantees I don't offer. But a better chance I do offer. And you'll feel better making a difference.
