The UN takes the lead
Just askin' - what country or state do you live in? If you live in any of the six New England states, New York, Delaware, or one of the particularly liberal countries (France in particular) then you can relax. Life's pretty darn good there. Y'all can relax.
But what if you lived in Mali?
Or Russia?
Or Iran?
Or Mississippi?
Fortunately for all of us (and I do mean all of us - worldwide) the UN is taking a bold stand. Not the kind where you snap your fingers and have everything all better, but the UN is a powerful force for good. I know, sometimes it seems you are pushing a very heavy rock up a very steep hill, but be assured that things will be better. Recently in Guatemala, a former president was put on trial for genocide. Guatemalans were understandably skeptical.
But he was convicted!
We can reform our laws. We can live in a civil society. The UN, despite its occasional foibles, in many cases is the only force for freedom in an uncivil society. Gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders need to be supportive of the UN.

YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
Recently, I was watching C-SPAN, when the announcer said that the next caller was from my town. Wow, I said, that's great.
Now it gets really spooky.
The caller was not only from my town, but from my building! One floor up! We said hi and how are you whenever we saw each other. (By the way, the town we live in is quite sizable - about 63,000)
The point is this: The man I know is not rich. He is not famous. He lives in a subsidized apartment. But he knows how to make himself HEARD. And so he did, quite eloquently, I might add.
Now I am asking to make yourself heard. E-mail or snailmail your Congressperson. If an issue comes up that is dear to your heart, call your TV or radio station If your Congresspersson has a town hall meeting, show up and SPEAK UP.
As many of you know, the issue that is near and dear to my heart is FULL marriage rights to those who seek them, whether heterosexual, gay, lesbian, or transgender. I hope you support these too. But without a vote and a voice, these opinions become almost meaningless. Don't let that happen to you.

Sure, we believe in freedom... as long as you're a robot...
credit: www.blogspot.com
As I've gone along, I've considered the idea of "freedom" to a larger and more expansive extent. Whether we are considering freedom to an extent which is wealthier or poorer, there is one axiomatic, indelible fact: when you consider yourself different, sooner or later, you WILL be blamed, hated, ridiculed or misunderstood. And if you live in one of the freer states now, wait'll you get sent down to Alabama, Arizona, Texas, or (god forbid) Mississippi.
