pam :: Sexual Hypocrisy: A Republican Retrospective


Thank you, thank you, and thank you. This needs to be said and ten thousand times too, to shine a light upon hypocrisy and break the back of the religious right, those holier than thou and the sanctimonious that are the enemies of freedom and America, to whom the Republican Party has fallen victim.
I always believed and still do, that it was a travesty for all of America that the "republican" American justice system chose to rake Bill Clinton through the coals over his little tryst with Monica, the dirtiest of dirty tricks of American politics. But worse, to broadcast someone’s personal and private affairs to the public is stench and it was the Republicans with the stir stick. Now, after that communistic approach to politicizim, it seems we have no privacy rights. It was this that ENDA was to put to rest, by sexual orientation, (our private affairs, who we're sleeping with, "who we love", what we do off the job in our personal lives, etc.), and more importantly, gender identity (how someone's mannerisms manifest publicly, the perceptions and judgments by others and the civil rights guaranteed to all citizens and the limitations on what others can do to or against people in a free America). ENDA would have had far reaching effects for America and for civil rights guaranteed to "all" citizens that the Republican Party has attempted to trample at every corner. Certain human rights must be protected, even by force if necessary, which the federal government did when they posted the National Guard to protect citizen’s rights for equal rights in Little Rock, Arkansas. Some in the Republican Party don't understand the word equal and now neither does the HRC and Mr. Barney Frank.
ENDA was about more than LGBT rights, which the Republicans want to call "creating a special status" of some sort. Excuse me Mr. Republican, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was and is not about any "special status". It was and is and always will be about protecting civil rights guaranteed to all Americans, of which ENDA was and is about, if we continue to include gender inclusion and the phrase pertaining to "perceptions". It was and is about rights in the work place for all Americans, no matter what an evil little mind can perceive of someone subordinate and subject to another’s perceptions and actions. It is about privacy for all Americans, which now, unfortunate for the whole of America with the surgical amputations of ENDA, we all bleed, along with the red strips on our flag, which symbolizes the blood shed by those who have fought for those rights.
It is sad that a law had to be created, to force (take note of this word, it is an example through out American history) force humans to behave in a civil manner towards one another or even to conform to the beliefs of their faith ("In God We Trust") with people of different color. Unfortunate, but worse than that which was, will be if we don't learn from history. Religion hasn't done it, can't do it, (because of their infinite divisions of beliefs), didn't do it for a hundred years in this country while they walked in their "whitewashed" churches weekly praising the deity and professing a discipleship as they do today. This hypocrisy of the religious politicalist must be revealed using their own sin against them as they try to do to us, slandering the LGBT folks and civil rights proponents. Their hypocracy must be broadcast continually and publicly, using their own dirty tactics against them, lest they forget their own human state in their pious mind.
Had it not been for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Brown vs. Board of Education we would have entire sectors of our cities in squallier reminiscent of Soweto, S. Africa, and worse than anything we see today. Please don't tell me I'm exerating. I was born in 1950, and have seen with mine own eyes, fascinated and bewildered of this situation, of black and white, rich and poor, those with and those without, those who can and those couldn't walk freely where I could walk freely. I couldn't understand the why as I looked through the invisible fence which had been impressed upon my young mind while passing tar papered shacks in Louisiana and Mississippi. Bobby Kennedy came down and saw the same thing and went back home with an agenda, Civil Rights for all. This is about civil rights more than LGBT rights per se; all America will suffer with a sept backwards if we don't pass this bill with gender inclusion and "perceptions". Restore the original ENDA bill and tell all those who ask for surrender, "NUTS"!
We must protect those children who will follow us, with protections from slander and libelous treatment by nepotism and cronyism in the work place, being perceived "gay" or too feminine or not feminine enough. Push for the original ENDA.
