I'm straight but stand in solidarity with my friends and family members who are gay and lesbian. Fuck Bush and his neoconservative agenda!

1. We have this effing nut in our town
who constantly writes about gays 'overcoming' their gayness and 'turning' straight. Every time he writes a LTTE, we give 20 bucks to the local PFLAG.

And I have to wonder exactly how he knows so much about this issue.
Seems like somebody is in denial.

9. LOL!
That gave me an idea. Whenever one of the local anti-gay nuts spouts off in public - I'll donate to HRC or PFLAG - and I'll let him know it. That way, he know there is a consequence to his action.

3. I'm going to give to both the HRC (lobbying/political) stuff...
and to PFLAG (less of a political org, and more of an emotional support/educational group).

I think we need both orgs.

I'm proud of you.

I'm a straight 45-year-old old Mom (whose been happy torturing my wonderful spouse for 20+ years), and I want the same privilege for my LGBT friends.

5. I joined HRC on Wednesday (Human Rights Campaign)
that's their logo in my avatar. And I joined the Dallas chapter of PFLAG. I also am a member of Stonewall Democrats.

PFLAG is a very worthy organization. I can't wait to start attending meetings and functions, meet some like-minded people around here.

10. My husband and I give to PFLAG, the Lamda Legal fund
and our local Gay/Lesbian Resource Center every year.

Plus, we give extra every time we see some bigoted thing in the news, and then we email or send a snail mail letter to whoever did it.

When our congressman voted in favor of the Marriage Defense Act or whatever it was called, we donated moneny and then sent him a letter telling him how much we donated and that we did it in his name in response to his vote.

11. I don't have any children or friends, tho.
Everybody hates me. Nobody loves me. I think I'm going to go eat worms.
