You Should Be Worried

Over the past few days, many of the proponents of Proposition 8 in California and similar measures in other states of the country have come out to complain and whine that the LGBT community is being uppity, crying babies over the whole deal. After all, they won fair and square, right? We should just lay back and let it happen!Well, here's the deal. You took rights away from people. Period. Doesn't matter if people voted for it or not. They were my rights, and you took them. So congratulations, you now have to deal with the consequences. If you are unfamiliar with what the concept of consequences are, please take a moment to reference that quaint book you like to carry around, particularly the first half of it. There are some pretty fantastic examples of consequences there for you. Now it's out turn.

We will continue to PEACEFULLY PROTEST until our rights are given to us. Unfortunately, many times the People don't do the "right thing," and the only way to get the People's attention is to be loud and be heard. Also understand that your absolutely pathetic attempts to quiet us through belittling our movement will go unanswered. We are not your subservient lap dogs. You tell us to be quiet and we will only scream louder.

We will also continue to protest and boycott ANY establishment that supports your special blend and hate. It's not terrorism, it's not bullying, it's simple capitalism. If a particular theater company employee a gentleman that donated to the Yes on 8 campaign and the gay community chooses not to attend said theater any longer, and in response to being made aware of the situation the Board of that theater company fires the employee, then it's not really much of my concern. That is a consequence. I didn't want the dude fired. I wanted the right to marriage. Same for Home Depot and Century Theaters. We will not support them, and they will feel the pinch and change their attitudes or remove the people causing the problem. Furthermore, your insinuations that we should add coals to the fire that's roasting us is just plain ridiculous. Keep that in mind the next time you declare a boycott on an organization simply because they decide to offer something similar to the benefits you and your opposite sex partner get.

At the root of this is that WE are not the problem. WE are acting in reaction to YOUR hatred. That hatred is the problem. We have every single right to fight in every legal way, and there is not a Damned thing you can do about it. And yes, you should be scared, because our money goes far and wide. When we don't spend, you will feel the pinch. Be prepared for the consequences you've brought upon yourself or don't take the action at all. It's too late for the latter, so have fun with the flow of consequences coming your way now.
