Okay, I'm calmer than I was the last post. First off, I'm not Jewish, Muslim or christian so I don't follow their orders. That doesn't mean I don't have my ideas about God. Some of you are probably thinking the cross is too big, but I wanted to stress the heaviness of bearing that weight. Wearing that symbol on a chain around necks for all to see proclaims faith. I don't wear one. But I carry the weight of trying to lift God's name without preaching at people. I treat everyone like they are family. And I wanted the red marks to be visible, because whether people believe in Jesus or not, a man was tortured and executed for teaching some things that were different than the standard religious doctrine. Some are thinking this blog deals with a subject where religion doesn't fit. But it very well does because religious institutions use their money to make laws that are against my sexuality which means they are against me. And as a result, I am denied legal rights while cold-blooded murders can get legally married.
What set me off -- in the past 2 or 3 weeks, someone commented at SPT that gays hated Jesus and we were going to hell. I also recently read that a girl tried to commit suicide and her girlfriend has to hide her feelings. And on top of that was the California judges upholding Prop 8. Religious institutions offer gay kids no hope and the government make laws that support religious doctrine. My mind was on overload.
