WILL SHE REPRESENT FOR THE LGBT COMMUNITY WHAT ROSA PARKS DID FOR CIVIL RIGHTS?
ONE CAN ONLY HOPE!
EDIE WINDSOR IS TAKING DOMA (DEFENSE OF MARRIAGE ACT) TO BE OVERTURNED TO THE HILL. THE SUPREME COURT WILL BE HEARING EDIE'S CASE ALONG WITH ONE OTHER FROM CALIFORNIA ON PROP 8 (I HAVE MY RESERVATIONS OF COMBINING THE TWO CASES, HOWEVER). THEY WILL HEAR THE CASE IN MARCH 2013 & DECIDE BY THE END OF JUNE 2013, THUS FAR.
(GREAT TIMING TO INCORPORATE THE POTENTIAL WIN IN OUR ANNUAL JUNE GAY PRIDE CELEBRATIONS CELEBRATING STONEWALL)
My guess is that they will not fully give ALL federal rights but a modified plan (I hope I'm wrong and true justice is served). If they continue to have the states vote on it instead-SHAME ON THEM!. People my age and older will be eaten by worms by the time it reaches all 50 states. WE WANT & NEED IT NOW!
Growing up in these United States, where our Constitution clearly states equal rights for all, I always felt left out and figured if I wanted to marry it would have to be with someone of the opposite sex. I chose to stay single or in non-recognized, society "mocked' long term relationships with a man. Never in my wildest dreams did I think this issue would become, well an issue...
Here we are in 2012 and the world is changing quicker than a drag queen on a cruise ship...
AWESOME!
Our heroin is a beautiful, sophisticated Manhattanite who was in a committed relationship with her partner, Thea Spyer.
" Windsor never imagined she would sue the federal government, but then Spyer died and Windsor was hit with a federal estate tax bill of more than $363,000 on Spyer's estate. If Windsor had been married to a man, the inheritance would have been tax-free and Windsor would not have owed the federal government anything..."
THIS IS EQUALITY???
Again & again we hear of how detrimental same sex marriage would be to our society from the pulpits where many pedophiles chant-the continual hypocrisy-in the name of religion-churns my stomach! Luckily Edie-following in the steps of our LGBT past & present heroes (Milk, Russo, Frank,etc.), can finally make this issue about what it really is-JUSTICE FOR ALL!
IT IS NOT ABOUT RELIGION!!!
It is about the rights all heterosexual people possess-even the cheaters, pedophiles,murderers and wife/husband beaters-have.
We don't need your profitable houses of worship with their hypocritical environment, we simply are asking for the same rights less worthy citizens legally take for granted. Keep your silly religious traditions (say 20 Hail Marys & be absolved of beating your wife & sleeping w/ your neighbors woman--keep putting stupid ashes on your head thinking you look superior when in fact it really doesn't go with your shoes--who the fuck cares what your bullshit, archaic traditions which have been ingrained in mostly the ignorant; those who crave a leader and never trust their own heart & minds. I don't want any part of it; however, what I do want & deserve as a citizen is ALL FEDERAL LEGAL RIGHTS. WHEN DO I WANT IT??? Motherfucker, NOW!!!
