If you were working this morning and didn't see Melissa Etheridge on The View, click the YouTube video URL.

I don't watch The View, even Whoopie can't get me to tune in. But I set the cable box and even though I was sick in bed, I woke long enough to see it. One of the regulars, brought up the topic on Prop 8 and of course Our Warrior was ready to respond. But she was eventually cut off because she was there to promote her new album "A New Thought For Christmas". The one who had started the conversation said the people should decide what's right for the country. WOW! The heterosexual woman thinks people should vote on who can get legally married. (As long as there is no vote on her right to marry. And what the hell does she mean "what's right for the country"? American citizens being denied civil rights is definitely not good for the country. The View should let viewers vote on keeping her or telling her bye-bye.) She said, it's not a personal issue for her, and since it is not, why does she get to vote on something that doesn't affect her rights.
I had written more, but decided to not include it. Don't mind me, I'm just a Black lesbian woman. " I'll never be White. I'll never be heterosexual. I'll never be a man. So I'll never be equal.
I'm going back to bed now. When I wake and hopefully feel better, I know things in America will be the same. My body might feel better but not my mine.
