We must have faith in ourselves not in politicians

As a people who have suffered for hundreds of years, tortured, murdered, tormented, defamed, brutalized, assassinated, and accused for all the world’s ills, we, LGBT people, have only shown our enemies kindness in light and in hope that they will see us as equal. For hundreds of years we have failed, and we must stop failing, by no longer asking, but DEMANDING our equal rights, our equal protections, and the respect we deserve!

We have a new president who now sides himself with the opposition when it comes to granting us full equality. We have elected him for hope that a change will come. My fellow LGBT I assure you, with those the Barak Obama has sided himself with, there will be no change. For those who place faith in a politician let me give you a word of the wise from a friend of mine who's is a law professor at Wayne state, "Trust a politician as far as you can shit, which has a distance of zero meters. That should tell you how much faith you should put in him or her."

Just because Obama supported us back then doesn't mean his mind can't change. Take Francis Collins for example. Raised an atheist, made fun of religion, then became infected with it and although he does great work for the human genome project, and supports LGBT people 100%, his work is becoming scrutinized by other scientist because of his widely, and ever changing religious views. His book, language of god, is great but is more on the lines of an opinion/nonfiction rather than a scientific document.

Basically Obama's views on us have changed. Get over it. I knew they changed as soon as he dumped Rev. J. Wright, who is inclusive to LGBT and same sex marriage. [link]
Look who he is with.

We have to get over the fact of putting faith in a bigot, will change him back or even change him at all. He is no better than any other president, and he will "NOT" give us our full equal rights unless we demand them and show that we are a threat. Otherwise we can expect more policies like DOMA, and DADT.

We have to get over the fact that he "was" for same sex marriage. He certainly no longer is and we need to stop having faith in his past. If he was such a supporter he would have done far more in stopping prop 8 in CA, Prop 102 in AZ, and Prop 2 in FL, and the horrendous Arkansas Unmarried Adoption Ban which has stripped dozens of children from their loving same sex parents, but he didn't. He only "willy-nilly" said he disagreed with the ballot measures.

And if you don’t believe me on children being removed from their home them just read this post by CBN.

If our new president was anything of a human being and not a bigot he would step in immediately and bring these loving families together. He has not; in fact he hasn't even made a comment since the elections. It's pathetic but its reality.

We must no longer stand for this. If you will not move to a country that is supportive of us then its time we fight back. We must stop asking these bigots politely for our rights. It is time we DEMAND them, and if they wish to fight us, separate us, murder us, on degrade us, then let us give them a fight they that will make them cower like the dogs they are. We must stop being pacifist, we MUST become activist who wont settle for anything less. We shall not ask our new president to give us our rights, we must make him. Anything less than equal is unequal, and its time we fight for what is rightfully ours; our rights for our love, our commitment to one another, and our families.

It is our duty and responsibility to secure not only ourselves but the future for other LGBT people in this country. Despite a majority disliking us it is time we rise above and make them respect us. Whether through fear, or love, it is our responsibility to make the change, because our president will not. And for all those out there who worry about this let us quote our Declaration of Independence for guidance.

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."

Haven't we suffered enough? Hasn't our families and our children suffered enough? It’s time we stop this vicious cycle of lies and lay the ground work so no other religion can trample the rights of others based on their bigoted interpretation of their fictitious and irrational ideologies to supplement their destructive agenda.

The time is now that we stop asking, time we stop making excuses, time we stop relying and hope and faith alone and start DEMANDING for our fundamental rights! Are you with me?

I have been looking for you EVERYWHERE!!! I have not had the time to go up to the school, I still have quite a bit of business that I have to handle up there, but I've been SUPER BUSY.. Call me, Some one stole my phone back in summer. In case you have been wondering why I haven't called in so long : ) Im not avoiding you lol... The sad thing about being a prodigy..you forget simple everyday things lol I dont know why i haven't thought about looking here on deviant art for you! It took me months to think of that hahaha! My number is the same, just have a new phone that's all. And this time I'm keeping a backup list of all the numbers in it. I lost A LOT of important numbers, Trying to gather up over 200 phone numbers, NOT EASY AT ALL!! I still havent got all of them and it's been half a year since! Anywho, I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon! Life and it's situations, and opportunities have been so enlightening! I have so much more to teach you!! TTYS
