Alright this isn't just another one of the "i hate this country get me out off here" type rants...this one actually has a good standing in it and a twist that you will see in the bottom.
Ok first of all, as most of you may know, i have a boyfriend and in such, i have been paying much more attention to GBLT rights and things in the country and well lately just in texas. Well first of all, most of the country doesn't allow gay marriage which on some parts i can see as reasonable, it being classified in the bible as a religious joining of a man and woman so that does kinda count same sex marriages out in THAT sense, HOWEVER, this shouldn't prevent the secular idea of marriage which, at it's very basics before the tax breaks and all of that nonsense, the joining of two souls in love. This makes me wonder, where in the world does the actual power or beliefs of the government truly lie, they try to separate church and state, but then again, what do we see, what seems to be all over, on the news, religion getting in the area of the state over issues such as abortion and marriage. Sure the country was based on religious freedom, but in turn with that, comes a freedom from having to worry about a religion, or it should be. Religion is a different set of moral values than what the state/government should be set on. People seem to forget this one fact, and hence how we get problems like the Terry Shiavo case and the GBLT adoption law in texas, where they have now banned and pulled innocent children from adoptive parents or foster parents that just happened to be Homosexual, Bisexual, or Transexual/Transgender, and placed them back into orphanages. They took children away from loving environments just because they were afraid of sexual orientation. And another thing i read in a free newspaper that is written along with the dallas morning news is that the FDA has said starting may 23rd, i believe, they are no longer allowing anonymous gay sperm donors because they are at a higher risk of having AIDS. I ask them this...what makes them believe that gay men are more prone to have aids? because they happen to have intimate relations with other men? there are a lot more things that give you a much higher risk of aids than that, if only they would realize it. One thing that makes me angry is that straight men, even if they have been to places like cabarets and such and have had sex they have paid for, they are still allowed to be anonymous donors...doesn't make much sense does it?
Anywho that whole part right there is basically on marriage and sex...which some may say i'm too young for but i don't care...i care about it right now so i'll talk about it right now. But with the new laws, most of them just strictly in texas, i really, really do not want to live in this country, but unlike most people that say that and just bitch to no end about it...i am actually going to do something about it. I am planning on leaving this country in two years if things do not DRASTICALLY improve in these areas, which i doubt will ever happen so it looks as though i may not be an american for long. I am an american citizen, as of right now, only by birth, but i have the beliefs against this country, and i happen to have the opportunity to get out of the country, which i will do as soon as i get my braces off, as i would do so next year, if it was not for extreme problems of trying to establish the standing of two people, one who happens to have enough money to survive for a time of months, and another that must find work to do so, and orthodontic work, then i would be leavint this country in only 14 short months, to, maybe, leave and never come back as a citizen.
So i guess this is the end of the whole rant "i hate america" thing...the difference is that i will rant, but then i will leave so i do something about it. so...yeah, i'm done for now i guess.
