37. Damn right you're not being sensitive!
This horseshit has gone on long enough! I am so fucking tired of being looked at as if I brought shit into the place on my shoe. I'm tired of double-takes when people ask me my husband's name and I say "Kathy" with a grin -- thinking that they'll find a little humor in their assumption when all they can see is a pervert that just made a fool of them. I'm tired of my own god damned father -- let alone my country, which is pissing on the Constitution in my name -- refusing to recognize that I'm married.

And to liberals who are quaking in their boots because * and the right have launched their pet "beat the Dems" project, all I can say is: are you a woman? Are you a man? Then act like it! God dammit, people, do what we gay and lesbian and bisexual and transgendered folks have been doing all our lives: pull up your fucking socks and get on with fighting for what is RIGHT.

And if you can't fight this righteous fight, get to the rear and let those of us who CAN, DO IT and please do not attempt to stand in our way!

EQUALITY NOW! If not now, WHEN?! If not me -- if not you -- WHO?!
