Bullies

Let me put one thing in perspective: politicians, for the most part, are bullies, whether on the State or Federal level.

North Carolina has put their blatant attempt at discrimination, at denying equality to human beings, i.e, the Marriage Equality Ban, on the May 2012 ballot.

This, dear readers, is bullying.

This, dear readers, is just another example of hate legislation.

Our government is full of bullies passing, or trying to pass, hate legislation so that only those that they believe are superior, i.e., heterosexuals, can marry.

This is only the beginning. Sooner or later, these bullies will begin to introduce other legislation that strip away the rights of citizens of the United States.

It is unfortunate that our government is no longer a democracy. Our government is led around by the nose by allegedly narrow-minded conservatives who line the political coffers of these politicians so that their limited point of view becomes the view of this nation.

We are better than that, dear readers.

We deserve better than a pack of bullies running the Federal and State governments. We deserve people who can't sleep at night because inequality exists in our nation. We deserve people who are willing to stand up and fight for EQUALITY, and not people willing to bow down to the pressure of their financial backers.

Every senator or congressman, Federal or State, who votes for any legislation that denies equal rights to any citizen of the United States is nothing more than a bully. They are equal to the bullies in schools that harass GLBT kids to the point where those same kids commit suicide.

Schools across the nation are implementing anti-bullying laws, and yet shouldn't similar laws be in place in State/Federal governments so the continued bullying/harassment of the GLBT community can come to an end? Shouldn't the concerned citizens of this country speak up and say: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

I say YES! How about you?
