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?

darkwolf33333 much of what you say is so true - but one must always have hope because hope gives possibilities and with possibilities goals are limitless.
I understand the absolute frustration of all that the LGBT have had to put up with - but do you no think that little by little things are getting better???
As we all know it take so much time for changes to come about.
I have no time for abusers or for people who do not or will not understand that there are others on our planet who are different and wish to live as they have the right to do by their own standards - not by anyone else's "by your leave"!!!
I am absolutely abhored by the appalling treatment the LGBT have received everywhwere - the beatings - the murders - the persecutions all because you wish to live your lives they way you want to and love whom you want to - there is nothing wrong in this - it is your right to do so!!!
In an ideal world - you all would be living as you wish in a beautiful peaceful country interacting with intelligent, loving folk - however - I am a dreamer and a romantic - I feel the pain of others who are down trodden for their way of life and I cannot understand why people cannot just LIVE AND LET LIVE and get on with their own journeys - goodness knows we are never here long enough.
My belief is that we are all spiritual beings come to earth for an earthly experience and whatever needs to be learnt - once those lessons are done with - we move on.
I am happy to call you my friend.
My cousin who was a Headmaster at a school in Auckland was Gay he was a beautiful soul he was bought up with me - he married had children and found that was not for him [now I am talking way back in time now - I am 69] however - he came out - talked to me about it- thinking I and my children would be averse to the thought - it never happened - to us he was always the beautiful person he was.
He became HIV Positive and came and saw me not long before he became unable to travel. I was advised not to got to his bedside - so I wrote him a letter saying many things to him loving things telling him how much we all loved him and how proud I was to have had him in my life.
His ex wife and children were with him when he passed on - and I still miss him and his quiet lovely voice.
Peace & Harmony Surround You Always.
