VENT: November 2008
http://ventisgood.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 5, 2008. Headlines today (Nov. 5, 2008) read: "Obama! Change has come to America! Yet, I'll always remember today as the day California voted NOT to recognize my already legal marriage and voted to add discrimination to its constitution. The day that California voted to give farm chickens (prop. 2) extended rights to move freely outside of cages, but voted to take away the California Constitutional right of Gay and Lesbian Americans (prop. 8) to legally marry.

VENT: Dark Ages Continue
http://ventisgood.blogspot.com/2008/10/dark-ages-continue.html
Thursday, October 2, 2008. I tuned in to the Palin. Debate." When they reached the part about gay marriage and repeated over and over how they didn't support it whatsoever, nor did their running mates, over and over repeated it, and then the moderator commented, "At least that's something you both agree on," and the two VP candidates both smugly nodded and grinned at each other. I switched off the set. I'm not interested in watching any more of their debate. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

VENT: I'm Getting Married
http://ventisgood.blogspot.com/2008/09/im-getting-married.html
Thursday, September 4, 2008. On October 3, after 23 years together, I am marrying Joel Freedman. It is the first marriage for each of us. I am 49 and Joel is 55. On November 4, it is possible that California Proposition 8 might nullify our marriage. Especially when you read the elegant ruling May 15, 08. On the matter by the California Supreme Court. On the other hand, marriage has that “heterosexual feel” to it. Contrary to what conservatives claim about marriage being solely for procrea...Yes, raising ...

Tuesday, June 17, 2008. Walking from a photo processing store in a strip mall, just now, at 3 in the afternoon on a gorgeous sunny June day, I passed two skateboarders. They were kids about 13 or so, I guess. One of them skateboarded right up to me and I waited for him to go around me. As I passed them, I heard the taller one say something like ".the gay boy? And then the taller boy said to me, "Hey sir, he just called you a gay boy.". I chose not to respond to the kids. The remark wasn't very bold&...

Friday, November 16, 2007. What's In A Name? I was born "Mike Gay.". Where did this name came from? It wasn't my real name, I learned when I was 30. My great grandfather Gayzinski on my father's side brought his family from Lithuanian Russia at the turn of the century to escape serving in the army and shortened his name, Gayzinski. To Gay so as not to be identified by the Russian police. And then, there are the Birdseyes. Of the frozen food process) was my mother's uncle and he became world-famous. Turns...

Saturday, February 21, 2009. For Those Who Take Offense at Gays Comparing Themselves To Blacks - A Book Recommendation. Read a book you probably haven't heard of with the un-sexy title, "The Marrow of Tradition," by Charles W. Chesnutt - written in 1902. The attitude of the reconstructionist white townspeople toward the newly freed black population is truly the same as that of the hetero majority in 2009 toward gays today as we fight for our equality. . One of the arguments against gays today is that we ...
