Ten years ago a mother lost her son.

Tragic that any parent should have to lose a child before their time, but when that loss is due to bigotry, to hate, it is even worse. A life is snuffed out, not because of some perceived wrong, not because of some accident, but simply because they are Gay. What is worse than being killed because of being who you are? Being tortured and made to suffer before death grants you eternal peace.

Mathew Shepard was that son.

Hate Crime Legislation to this day, does not include protection of Homosexuals, because the so called man in the White House, and the so called Christian Men & Women of the United States Congress refuse to pass any such legislation. They holler about how their is no need for it, and then scream about how evil Homosexuals are, how vile, how anti God they are, further pushing people over the edge, furthering the wanton murder of innocent men and women who are simply different than they are.

A mother still cries for her loss, but she treks on. She talks to millions, meets with the famous like Elton John and even Hilary Clinton, a possible President. Yet still the legislation that bears her son’s name remains languishing in the halls of Congress, because no Elected Member has the balls, the guts, or the desire, to protect ALL AMERICANS. Because doing what is right, what is needed, isn’t what gets you elected to high office in America. Just ask Hilary Clinton, George Bush, and others.

Opponents of the hate-crimes proposal says it’s not needed because state and federal laws already outlaw violence against individuals.

Joe Glover of the Family Policy Network, a conservative lobbying group, told The New York Times it was “a shameless attempt to push the homosexual agenda on the American people by exploiting American soldiers who are currently in harm’s way around the world.” (source)

The struggle goes on, and still the bigots hold sway. In some States, representatives stand up and speak about how the Gay Agenda, about the evils of being homosexual, and then spend their time denying Gays protection under the law. Many say it is simply because they really do believe the crap they spew, that Gays don’t need protection.

I disagree.

They deny the rights of Gays to be protected, in the hope that we will all succumb to the vile in society, who will do their dirty work for them. They hope that the longer they obstruct justice, that more Gays will be killed like Mathew Shepard, that there will be no Gay Voting Block to worry about, as there simply won’t be any Gays around to vote. They will either all be dead, or frightened back into the closet.

How wrong the George Bush’s & Hilary Clinton’s are. There will be no more Closets for us, nor can they exterminate us, without a fight. If Hitler taught people like Jews, like Homosexuals, anything, it was that walking into the gas chambers was never going to happen that easy again.

Arizona became the 16th state to reject federal funds for ‘Abstinence Only‘ education programs. Since its inception, the program has cost US Taxpayer’s nearly a half billion dollars, and so far studies have shown that the program is worthless. That is has no real impact on kids, and that it can actually do harm.

Like that took how many years for them to realize?

The study found that while abstinence-only efforts appear to have little positive impact, more comprehensive sex education programs were having “positive outcomes” including teenagers “delaying the initiation of sex, reducing the frequency of sex, reducing the number of sexual partners and increasing condom or contraceptive use.” (source)

Like it isn’t Rocket Science to know that telling kids not to have sex before they are married is not going to work. Teenagers love to party, to have fun and the last thing on their mind is about ‘saving themselves‘ for MR or MISS Right. It has been well proven in other countries, that only comprehensive education helps reduce sexual activity among teenagers.

It also helps reduce pregnancies and disease, but does George W. Bush and the Republicans understand that? Course not, because that would mean they actually gave a damn about people. Truth is, these programs are nothing but political payoff to a group of narrow minded bigots, that somehow took over the Republican Party.

Simple truth is, these abstinence programs were a payoff. No different than any other BRIBE.
