Defending Jeb Bush

WHY JEB BUSH SHOULD HIRE MY GAY ASS

Wed Shevat 22, 5775 12:35PDT

I was fired for being Gay Married.  I was fired for my love.

I'm not using a spell-checker, or software syntax-examiner;  I type my thoughts quickly, post my entries on-line to my blog or Facebook, unedited, as-it-unfolds.  I trust education, and that it prepared the populace to figure-out simple typos/spelling-errors, occassional miswordings or word-skips, without judging, and/or, without one's thoughts being derailed.

There is something about LGBTs that is oftentimes overlooked:  we don't have a 'chapel,' or a 'community center,' there are no "membership cards," and, unlike those that know nothing about us (other than the superstitions, rumormongering) we are not telepaths; if one is told something, the rest are not 'updated' by 'osmosis.'

We do not have the social-network that religious groups have.  We have no special-education; no "common theme" other than what is applicable to all people equally: equality, and justice for all.

I was born-in to a system that claims I cannot have been "born this way," that being Gay is a "lifestyle choice."  I dispute that, vociferously, because hating Gays and Lesbians is a lifestyle choice, and those that 'subscribe' to such ways of thinking, go to churches and 'conservative meetings,' then repeat somebody else's thoughts as if one's own.  That's plagiarism to me.  I think independently.  I think for myself, because I trust my Freewill.

"Conservative" to me, the concept, along with the concept of a "Gay Republican," is perceived by most LGBTs I've ever known or read or heard, as "insanity."  However, the terminology is misunderstood, and, like those that choose a lifestyle that lives in fear and hatred of us, the LGBT 'counterpart' to that is as equally stereotypical;  the only 'equality' we truly have: misunderstandings all around.

So let me explain what I mean when I say that I am a "Gay Republican."  I am what used to be called a "Liberal Republican," before religious fanatics, fringe-movements, molested the word "conservative" into racism, bigotry and religious supremacy.  A Liberal Republican are those with true conservative values.  So, what is "conservative" in context with "Liberal Republican," and does it differ from what is stereotyped as "conservative"?

The 'simple' of it, is like this:  It is not a 'conservative value' to use one's gift of sight, to perceive 'offenses' as excuses to ban, censor, outlaw, and hate someone out of a livelihood.  It is a real, true conservative value to retain one's Freewill to "look away;" to preserve one's Freewill to "avert one's eyes."  (or, change the channel; or not buy a magazine, etc.)

My grasp of "conservative values," therefore, has not been perverted by religious extremism brainwashing LGBTs into a goose-step in lock-step condemnation, excuses to discriminate against another solely based on one's opinions about politics and faith.  Church, church-goers, and Gays of Faith and the entire LGBT community, all have more things in common than "commonly thought."  I strive to remind those around me, regardless of sexual-orientation or religion or politics, of that altruism.

Yes, I could spend many hours, days even, editing, 'perfecting wording,' asking a dozen or so people in how to word my thoughts 'better,' but then it would be their thoughts, not mine.  And it wouldn't be "as it unfolds," but some fake 'mirror' of reality, a 'graven image,' therefore, instead of who and what I truly am.  Born this way.  Naturally.

Qualifications is this letter and all my writings online, decades of defending equality, free-expression  either for or against faith and politics, the fact I passed all five adaptive tests to earn one of the first MCSDs while computer scientists failed (which proves I use resources wisely), and my life-long commitment to defending the sanctity of marriage, which is monogamy, regardless of gender or orientation (otherwise it's privacy-intrusive as excuses to discriminate based solely upon religious-extremism (which is the forcing of others to 'comply' with one's own faith-based viewpoints)).

Lastly, there are many LGBTs that are considered to be "more qualified," but what is the criteria for the claim?  Did the employed LGBT have a meltdown because somebody called them a name, thereby prove that all it takes is a word, a single word, to derail his/her thoughts?  Focus?  Job?  Life?  And, is it a woman, divorced from a man, with children, now claiming she is 'gay' and in a 'lesbian relationship'?  That would be the opposite of the definition so the terminology as she would neither be a 'lesbian' nor a 'gay', but a bisexual, even if she's in a same-sex relationship.  Further, I don't need the 'endorsement' of someone else's opinion in order to function, or work, be it about politics or religion.  Freedom is about retaining one's own personal-relationship with their faith, not a 'right' to deny equal opportunities to those in one.

Defending Monogamy

Defending Monogamy :

(begin: Wed Shevat 15, 5775 08:48PDT)

ABC's GMA did a segment this morning about monogamy.  It included a survey of those who think social media may have an impact on monogamous relationships.  Fifty-seven percent of responders think so.

In the real world, the sanctity of marriage is defined by defending monogamy.  It is the foundation of marriage, and Marriage Equality for we Gays must include the same definition, or we are not seeking Equality at all, but some form of "special equality," or "more equality," and there is no such thing.

I have defined, repeatedly, how monogamy, regardless of spelling, is a key-component in defending we Gays from the asymmetrical warfare waged against us.  Now, this is important, pay attention:  in the rural areas, a Gay's "one and only" often comes from the cities, not always but often.  What they know of that individual is what they are told.  And oftentimes that individual is living a double-life, cowering behind a woman in a closet of deception, lying and cheating;  when they are 'done' with their same-sex "encounter," they return to their closet-of-deception, cowering behind their 'woman.'  The lies they told their "straight friends," are the lies they told their "gay friend(s)."  Perhaps different words, different types of excuses, but lies nonetheless.

Rural Gays are often accused of "seducing married men."  The reverse is usually the case.  Further, the liar and cheater, when their closet-of-deception is 'stripped-away,' they make themselves-out as being "victims of their sexuality."  Even if they become involved in a same-sex relationship, after they are divorced by the woman and kids they always lied to, they are not 'gay,' they are Bi-sexual.  These are Bi-sexual issues, not 'gay-issues.'  Gays were lied to, just like 'straights' (Str8s).  And after the liar "comes out," they are still Bi-sexual, not Gay, and once the figurative daylight illuminates their dark deceptive closet and they 'confess,' they are not proving any form of "integrity," they only prove they never had any integrity whatsoever.

Meanwhile, the Rural Gay they lied to, monogamous, is told by their "love" that they are the "one and only," and trusting in that love, become POSITIVE, not just for STDs, but all the stresses and neurosis that goes-along with deception, including higher rates of drug and alcohol abuse and trauma.  The Str8 women and family experience similar outcomes.  That is the only "gay equality" most of the world knows.

That makes Gays more VULNERABLE, to stereotyping and bullying and gay-bashing and discrimination in employment, housing and finance.

The non-monogamous stood before G*d and Country, friends and family, and made a promise and a commitment.  They lied to Church too, see.  Gays didn't.  We did no such thing.  We need protections from the non-monogamous, from Bi-sexuals, from liars from cheaters, just like Str8-spouses, male or female.

Further, the non-monogamous, after proving to have developed only ONE real 'discipline,' i.e., lying and cheating, take that to work with them as well.  They are the first to make-up an excuse on-the-fly; the first to take credit for someone else's accomplishments, the first to blame another, the first to ridicule and scorn in the pathetic attempt at making themselves-out as being "superior/supreme."  They are so 'good' at it, they often rise-above their colleagues, having a lifetime of 'practice' in their closets-of-deception cowering behind women.  This is why Commanding Officers are oftentimes dismissed if it becomes known they are engaged in affairs, because they proved lack of discipline in not upholding their commitments; they oftentimes abused their co-workers and employers making excuses (lies) and therefore deceiving colleagues and staff.  Not always, but usually.  Not every single one of 'em, but most.  This is also why I was against the decision about a Lesbian who had an affair with a married 'str8-woman' that was in the news several years ago.  I consider it to be a situation of "aiding and abetting the perpetration of lying and cheating while in uniform."

We need protections from such peoples' behaviors as that.  They have their own unique problem-sets they chose.  They had a choice.  We did not.  They need their own forms of 'services' and their own forms of 'outreach' and their own forms of 'counseling' and their own forms of 'defense,' but whatever that may be, it's not us.  And they must stop hiding behind the GAY LABEL as their excuse, for every time there is such an incident, another hundred Gays and Lesbians are hated-out of equality.

Shalom and Amen.

(1st effort to correct typos and spelling-errors, begin Thu Shevat 16, 5775 08:41PDT)
(My opinion is that if anybody reads my quickly-typed, freely-expressed thoughts, I trust their education-level to be sufficient to figure-out typos/spelling-errors without judgements, for unlike others, I do not think faking 'perfect' by using computer-enhanced software proves intelligence at all, just how fake a person truly is.  Spell/typo 'corrections' complete at Thu Shevat 16, 5775 08:48PDT, total time: 7-mins; as for syntax, I didn't bother as same concept is applicable, as always)

---------------------------------------
A brief word about spelling:
1) I usually spell "monogamy" as "monogomy," because it does not include "game" at the end of it, as relationships are not "gamey" (wild) and/or have nothing to do with playing games except to the immature.  It's my personal preference.
2) I usually spell "lie" in the plural as "lieing", which is technically "incorrect."  It should be "lying," but when translated, it is transliterated as "to lay on the ground." A "lie" is an untruth, not a "nap."
3) Words that I do not think of, or use often, I misspell/mistype frequently.  For example, the word that sounds like "onohmonopia" is not one I type/say very often and as a result, I spell/type it a number of different ways.  The obvious intent is:  (if I can think of the correct spelling or find it somewhere) "anomateopia" ??  okay, wrong, I'll look it up.  Here:  on·o·mat·o·poe·ia

Defending Spokane (Gender Wars)

Tue Shevat 14, 5775 18:19PDT

Dear 'powers-that-be' :
re: Spokane and attacks against Transgenders and Gays and anybody 'different' :

I grew up here in Spokane County; went to school here, graduated from U-High in Spokane (before there was such a thing as "the city of Spokane Valley," and live in Spokane (within city-limits today).  I've never hid in a closet-of-deception, cowering behind a woman, telling her and kids a bunch of lies, and then, when caught, claimed to be a "victim of my sexuality."  Those are not Gay-issues.  But we are all stereotyped as being that way, and all those involved in that behavior, their cheating and lieing, stirs-up alot of anger against us.  But we aren't doing those things.  We never did those things.  We were never involved in any of it.  Those are not Gay-issues.  Those are bi-sexual issues.  And even if those involved in it, 'settle' in some type of 'same-sex relationship,' even if they start calling themselves 'gay,' they are not.  They are still Bi-sexuals, just in a different 'stage' of a typical Bi-sexual lifestyle.

They need their own 'help,' their own 'services,' their own 'outreach' their own 'protections.'  It isn't us.  And rest assured, all the cheating and lieing they told 'straights,' were used to deceive we Gays, too.

Same with Lesbians.  There are more and more Bi-sexual woman, who divorced from a traditional family environment, then got involved in a same-sex relationship, and now claim they are the 'voice and face of what a 'lesbian' is.  That is false.  They are not.  They are still Bi-sexuals, just in a different 'stage' of the typical Bi-sexual Lifestyle.  It may be long-lasting.  It may not.

I mention all that, because Transgender people have their own issues, their own needs, their own unique sets of problems, their own cries of 'help,' which is not us (we Gays) either.  I don't pretend to understand what a Transgender is going through, anymore than that of a Bi-sexual man with children claiming to be a "victim of his sexuality."  To me, that man, after his closet-of-deception is stripped-away, after he (as it is said) "comes out," isn't "proving integrity," at all;  he's just proving he never had any.  Perhaps that's part of his/her 'healing,' I don't know.  They must define that themselves, between each individual and all the people they cheated and lied to.  I've never been in a sexual-relationship with a woman, so I cannot be expected to "identify" with a Bi-sexual's issues.

Transgendered people are all unique, and have their own individual existence.  The 'big argument' people make against them, is that the Transgender "hated themselves as one gender, therefore trained themselves to find "liberation" by becoming (wishing or choosing to be) another gender."  The whole world is grappling with that.  But one thing is certain, these are unique individuals with his/her own sets of unique problems.  Nobody is "walking in their shoes" except themselves.  It doesn't matter if someone thinks they are "choosing" or "manufacturing escapes or excuses", or think they were "born in the wrong body" or whatever, the fact remains that these individuals are not "assimilating" into society, are not getting a "fair shake" in some manner or another and they themselves struggle to define it.  That in itself is a "born-in to" situation, their "gender-dysphoria".  Like it or not.

We as a city and a society, especially the Gay and Lesbian community, are ill-equipped to handle it.  We don't need a million-dollar "study" to "job-security" a future-generation of college-grads, professionally-unionizing, "donating-back" to a particular political-entity (party) of the Legislative Branch for more, more, more money, resources, perks, benefits and raises, annually forevermore, at taxpayer-expense.  We don't need any more of it, and Spokane taxpayers can ill-afford it.

This society is producing many positive symptoms which are mis-diagnosed merely to become a political entities' "donation-base" of voters (organized vote-buying at the expense of all the other taxpayers).  That equation is old and tired and needs be retired.  It, as a social-paradigm, has never solved anything, or made anything "more efficient" nor "less expensive," only become an ever-growing bureaucracy, the 'target' of Credential Sales by predatory-educational institutions.

That said, we need to LISTEN.  It's really SIMPLE.  WE JUST NEED TO LISTEN.  We need to put aside the assumptions and all the pre-programmed soundbites and "reasonable-sounding" platitudes, and just listen.  We don't know how to 'help' these individuals and their unique problem-sets; they need to tell us, and we are not listening, instead, our attention is constantly mis-directed to Credential Sales, politicos, and religious diatribes (and they've had their say, over and over and over, eh?)

This latest attack against a Transgender, who is a "stranger in a strange land," and born-in to it no matter how one views it, isn't being solved by blaming everybody in the city or Police Department or anything else as being "insensitive" and "hateful."  But "slow to respond" to UNIQUE demographical issues?  Yes.  Guilty-as-charged.  Over and over, because profiting from atop the rubble, misery, confusion and grief is just "job-security" to institutions that sell credentials, to become a "union job" that collects "donations" to a political-entity (party) of the Legislative Branch for more, more, more, claiming how everything is now, "new, improved, cleaner, better, brighter, whiter, super-duper more-efficient, less-expensive," and honestly, nothing has ever been made less-expensive by it.  Ever.

We don't need another "statewide initiative," and we don't need another "national roundtable event" or "worldwide super-analysis."  We can figure it out.  Together.  We just forgot to shut up and listen, and I have 15 dead friends that I grew-up with right here that proves it.
