I checked Skype, checked my email, checked my blogs, checked my social sites… then wow, just wow! Marriage equality is now legal in ALL states! It’s about fucking time. It's just sad that it took so long for society and the law to do the right thing, but part of that is because everyone was so focused on giving to blacks for so long and showering them with more rights than anyone else has ever had that the gays got ignored. Put all your energy into favoring one group and you tend to neglect others. 

I know few others want to see it, but I still feel like gays are on the bottom, whites are in the middle, and blacks are on top, and that shouldn’t be. Gays still get shit on more than anybody else in society. Whites can’t have a White History Month or a white anything without being called racist. Blacks are still usually exempt from hate crimes and playing the race card to their advantage. Not right. Things are definitely better, but I don’t know that I would go so far as to say things are “equal” just yet. 

Gays still get fired just for being gay because it’s an easy form of discrimination that is very hard to prove. Unless you can record your boss actually saying that they’re canning you for being gay, there’s little to nothing you can do about it. 

Also, if a black person decided to attack me in the name of hate, I would want them charged with the hate crime that it was and I would want them given the SAME sentence that whites get for their hate crimes. 

The only thing I’m a little concerned with is most states overturning the ruling and banning it. I’m not big on politics, though, so I don’t really know how this works. I only know that they’ve had their rights jerked around in the past and so I worry about that happening in the future. 

Later… 

Every now and then when I log into the Ask account I used to keep in touch with Andy, up pops a box saying that I violated the TOS and if I do it again my account will be suspended. Every time this happens, I am left to wonder what in the world it was I could have possibly said to violate the TOS. Finally fed up enough with the threats, I contacted them and said, “I may swear every now and then same as everybody else, but that’s as far as I go, I can’t imagine what I’m doing wrong, I’m sick of your threats, so if you’re going to suspend me why don’t you just do it and get it over with?” 

Anyway, the idiots reply asking for my username, email address the account is set up under, how long I’ve had the account, and some other stuff, and I’m thinking to myself, “You’ve got to be kidding. Are these people really that dumb?” 

I opted not to bother replying to them if they’re going to be too stupid to figure that out on their own. Some of that information was on the form I filled out. If that’s not enough, fine, let them suspend my account. They’re not the only site on the web. 

This cat has been here a month yet she has suddenly decided some things she never paid much attention to, if any at all, is suddenly oh so important. She didn’t pay much attention to this little furry mouse of hers, but lately, she has been carrying it around the house with her. There’s also a small raised circle on the refrigerator and lately, she just loves to jump up and try to grab it. 

My heart didn’t race me awake last night and I even had some fun dreams for a change. Tom and I were in the process of buying a houseboat in Hawaii. 

I also told a woman to fill a rubber glove with water, freeze it, and shove the fingers up her ass. How did I get so cleverly creative in my dreams? Really, that’s what I call creative dreaming. 

The only negative dream was where somebody gave me a Taser, only it was a long stick so that you didn’t have to get close to the person in order to zap them. Some woman started to threaten another woman that I knew and I wanted to zap the bitch to protect her, only I didn’t know which end of the stick was the proper end to jolt her with. Fortunately, the woman stormed off before I could figure it out. 

I wonder if my niece Becky is gay. She seems to be quite a supporter of GLBT rights, “likes” most of my pro-gay posts almost as much as Andy and a few others do, and well, she does kind of have the look even though her hair is long. I've also never heard her talk about guys, dating, boyfriends, etc. I heard Sarah once mention her “future husband,” and hoping to run into hot guys in the laundry room of their apartment complex, but I don’t hear this from Becky. I know that recently Sarah spent the night out and joked about how Becky scolded her when she came in the following morning because she was worried about her. 

Sarah may manage to get some every now and then because guys are easy, but I think both of them, especially Becky, are going to have a hard time getting a man as I did trying to get a woman because of their weight and appearance. Sarah’s face is fine, but poor Becky is pretty ugly. Both of them are huge as hell. 

Going premium on TIP has proven not to be very exciting after all. I was wondering if I would suddenly see visitors close to me that had disabled cookies so I wouldn’t be onto them, but nope. Looks like my first guess was correct after all: no one local is reading me. I like how I can hide the tracker, but it’s not worth paying seven bucks a month to do that. Also, if I suddenly noticed someone new, how would I know if they’d been coming in regularly with cookies disabled, or if they were simply new? I’m mostly interested in local visitors suddenly appearing, but so far… nothing.
