So I woke up planning on blogging my distaste for the Left when it comes to anyone of the Right being truthful and honest when answering question publicly.  Yes, the media whore Perez Hilton against Miss California Carrie Prejean.  I'm over it really.  Attacking one person who at the point represents a large group who do no believe as he does.  Hey, Perez!  It's America!  We were founded on the belief that not everyone agrees on everything!  Read the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.  Both protect her and YOU!  Drop it!  Go attack something or someone worth while.  You have made this girl a Saint in the eyes of the Right Wing Extremists!   Why is it that we can't just say, "I don't agree with you, but I respect you for being honest."?  Grow up America and be MATURE!  Show integrity.  Don't know the meaning of the word like Perez?  Look it up at Dictionary.com!

And just to clear it up, I'm an Independent, not a Dem or Republican.  I'm pro-gay marriage, pro-stem cell research, and pro-life for the most part.  The end.

On to my new reason for blogging after not being able to do so for a week - stupid computer viruses, I need a MacBook Pro!

Kings of Leon.  My good friend Kelli has already blogged her love of the concert, but I thought I would reinforce her statements.

Well I thought I would enjoy the opening acts, The Walkmen, more than I did.  However, I only enjoyed their last song "The Rat".  Solely, because it was the only one I knew by heart and it was the last song they would play.  

After 45 minutes between the sets, the boys came on stage to open with "Crawl".  Wow!  I must say I loved KOL before the show, but I fell even deeper while there.  Caleb Followill is such a great entertainer.  He may be the lead-singer, but he is so funny to watch.  His brother, Nathan was blowing bubbles with his gum too, so he was fun to watch also.

Why be so exclusive?

Ok so the buzz is still high over Miss California's reply to Perez Hilton's question during the Miss USA Comp.  Perez has been nonstop tweeting about it on his official Twitter.  If you live under a rock and are unaware of the situation here's what went down.

Perez was a judge on the beauty-I mean-scholarship competition.  His question was "Vermont recently became the 4th state to legalize same sex marriage, do you think more states should follow suit? Why or why not?"

Now she took the road "marriage should be between a man and a woman."  I have to say her honesty is endearing, but you just opened up a feud with Perez.  

Yes, free speech is a cornerstone of the American Constitution.  But, the aftermath of all the "religious" people and the Gay, Lesbian, and Transgendered community feeling they need to voice their opinions is a little much.  

There are a few reasons why this gets me going.  1)  I hate anything that preaches equality and inclusion but turns around to be ultra-exclusive.  2)  The whole sanctity of marriage BS.

I have been witness to more heterosexual marriages ending in divorce than I have seen same-sex life partnerships end in break up.  Sanctity of marriage my ass!  Is the sanctity of marriage when a husband beats his wife?  Or how about when one or the other cheats over the entire course of the marriage then after 21 years of yelling and mental abuse one leaves the other and fights in court for their rights to the marital assets?  If that is the sanctity of marriage then count me out.  

My mom left my father 8 years ago after 21 years of mental abuse.  She has been with the man I call my step dad for 7 years.  They aren't married.  They talk about it, but it would be his 4th and her 2nd.  They are perfect together.  High school sweethearts that reconnected after 24 years.  The same injustices that the homosexual community faces, they are actually facing.  My mom can't even be added to his insurance because they aren't married.  And yes, I know it's not the same, but it holds similarities.

Now onto the religious aspect.  Look here you hypocritical fuckers!  If God loves everyone and Jesus saves, then why the fuck would they not accept everyone!  Religion is about love and acceptance, not being in an exclusive club.  And as far as the quote "but the Bible says."  If the Bible said to have a relationship with God you have to cut off all pleasurable habits would you fucking do it?  That means if you find pleasure in coffee, bubble baths, YouTube, card games, and/or any other fetish you find release in, would you stop?  No you wouldn't you would say that it's open to interpretation and that some things are a sign of the times.  Same way people look at the "wives must submit to their husbands".  People find that outdated and stupid.  Huh?  We interpret what we see fit for ourselves.

I have an open relationship with God.  I don't go to church, but I know he's open and accepting of sinners, saints, drunks, druggies, whores, and gluttons.  Why can't he accept homosexuals?  Answer:  HE DOES!  Who are we to judge anyone?  Judging people isn't the job of a mortal.  Judging isn't the job of a sinner.  And we are all sinners!  That's why I have faith in God, not religion.  He listens to me even though I don't go to church.  He loves me even though I don't claim a religion.  He loves us all!  So who are the religious, Bible beating, hypocritical Christians to judge, hate, and cast stones?    Go read your Bible you inconsiderate, selfish, hypocrites.  Open your heart and mind for that is when God touches you the most!

Faith, hope, and love are just a few things he gave us.  And the greatest is LOVE!
