It is hard to be the one who is purposefully left out, to be excluded, to feel “less than” others, and relegated to some second tier of human citizenship. Americans get righteously - and rightly - upset about such things and lesbian and gay Americans - and our many and diverse friends - are very pissed off. We are getting angrier and rising up against seemingly endless waves of anti-gay marriage rights and anti-gay parent adoption laws in California, Florida, Arizona, and elsewhere in our fair country. Gay people have had it with such legalized and accepted bigotry.
Wanda Sykes’s Stirring Call for Equal Civil Rights Across the USA
Speaking to a protest crowd in Southern California, Wanda shares that she is gay, proud, married with her wife in the crowd, and pissed off at the wave of anti-gay civil marriage rights and anti-adoption laws by gay parents.
She said the some thing at the True Colors concert at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley in June. Loved her then, love her now. A stirring call for democratically guaranteed equal civil rights for gay people across America, for equality for all.

This is, in a word: astonishing. I am definitely impressed that Keith Olbermann focused so eloquently and passionately on the core issue of love of those in gay relationships for each other. I was deeply moved and I think you will be, as well. Coming from a talking head from MSNBC, no less, it carries considerable weight. PLEASE SHARE - this is a stunning statement in support of LOVE.

America Begins to Revive and Create an Inclusive Nation

America just voted into office a visionary, educated, progressive Democrat for President: Barack Obama! He will be our first out bi-ethnic President, being of African and European (”white”) ancestry, and he represents the hopes, dreams, and lifetimes of work by generations of Americans from all walks of life. I am very proud that I voted for President-elect Obama, as did virtually all of my friends and family of creation in San Francisco. Last night, in the Castro - good old 94114 - the fabulous San Francisco Late Nite Coalition shut down the street and everyone celebrated this monumental and historic election.
