Paragraph Three

"Let us push for a time when all of this is a non issue."

A friend of mine who writes for the Dallas Examiner wrote that about gay teens in an article tonight and it hit me hard. That is exactly what we need to be fighting for, not gay rights but rights in themselves, for all people gay or straight. Those rights, those freedoms should be ours regardless, they should be a "non issue". The GLBT community should not have to stuggle any more than the home and gardening community when it comes to the rights we all share as Americans, as humans. Each of us should have the right to marry who we want to marry, live where we want to live, work where we want to work, sit where we want to sit, adopt children if we so choose, teach school, lead groups, run for office, live the way we want to live provided that it is not physically harming those around us.

Let us push for a time when all of this is a non issue.
Furthurmore, let us push for a time when one's sexuality does not determin one's personality or cultural experience in this country. Let us push for a time when straight couples and gay couples can ask for advise about their relationships from the same person. Let us push for a time when gay rights are no longer on the political ticket because they are a given, a non issue. Let us push for a time when being gay or straight no longer matters to anyone other than the person you are sleeping with.

Let us push for a time when all of this is a non issue.

Lets.
