Perez and the Bitch from Cali!

First off. This is David blog. I don't want anyone to think that Jen had any part in this, as it is solely my opinion that is expressed here.

Second. Let me say a resounding "WAY TO GO!" to Perez Hilton. I applaud him for the fact that he's not just sitting down and taking the barage of assault that has now been levied against him for his proper use of the 'b' word. She is a bitch, unforunately, her opinion is shared by so many people in this country that, if it hadn't been for FDR probably would have supported Hitler in World War II and that still doesn't completely understand or respect minorities of any kind, whether they be Women, Jewish, Blacks, Latinos, or Gays.

I've been watching shit on CNN.com for a while this morning, and it hurts me that orientationism is so purvasive in our society. Articles and the amateur commentary on the site are all bashing HIM, when they should be bashing HER for being the dumbass bitch troll voice of idiocy.

But I raise the question now, is it her fault that she's stupid? Yes. But blame also should rest in the hands of people like her, her family, and American society for allowing this blatant descrimination to continue.

If this were decades ago, during the Civil Rights Movement, and a Miss USA contestant were asked about Rosa Parks. Would an imflamatory response not been just as grating at that point? If the questioner had then come out in response to that as angrily as Perez, would he be criticized for it? Probablemente que no!

It ANGERS me that we live in a place where descrimination can happen so transparently, as if it's nothing, and then we have the audacity to call ourselves the land of the free. It's hypocracy, plain and simple.

Some people will say that it's a matter of faith that justifies their hatred of our people, but I remind them that faith has been used to justify descrimination for CENTURIES. It was used to keep black people subservient in this country; it was used to keep women at home and out of the work place and voting booths. It was used to justify mistreatment of immigrants of different faiths from the majority. And some people wonder why I don't go to church.

So...to those that are bashing Perez. Please know that I am standing with him. This contestant...who was almost our representative to the Miss Universe contest...deserves neither my admiration nor respect for so blatantly saying that it's OK to descriminate against gays.

It's people like her that force gay teens to commit suicide at higher rates than other teens. It's people like that keep me from getting full justice after an attempt on my life. (The man that attacked me has been charged with 'Assault III', which, in Alabama is a MISDEMEANOR because politicians and police don't want to admit that it was a GAY BASHING, plain and simple. It's all because HE said that it wasn't. If I had died in the parking lot of my apartment, this man would probably still only get the minimum sentence...if anything at all.)

It's like it's OK if we're hair dressers, interior designers, or gossip peddlers, but the minute we stand up for something, WE'RE the bad people.

OK.

That's all for the moment. I'm sure that I'll come up with more later.
