Ok so its Tuesday and I am between classes with time to kill so I pick up a copy of the new Daily Cougar. Usually I only read the opinion section and honestly this semester has been disappointing with what I have read there.
ANYWAY, as I am looking over the front page I see Jack Pardee has died and everyone is lauding over him and forgetting how he nearly got U of H Banned because of all his recruiting violations; but that is not what really set me off on a tail spin of "what the fuck".
Under it was another story about Kristopher Sharp, a candidate for student body vice president and the police investigation. Seems some worthless jack-off, created and circulated fliers with Kristopher's picture with an "X" over it and the words, "WANT AIDS?" above the picture and below, "Don't Support the Isaac and Kris homosexual agenda". Not only is this just hatefully sick it also is a crime as Kristopher does have AIDS but had not told anyone and the disclosure of anyone's medical status, with out their consent is a crime.
What really disappoints and infuriates me is that it happened on this campus by a student, is what I want to write but the truth is I am mad because I let my guard down and this is a reminder of the hate and real danger I, and so many others, must always be aware of and ready for. A reminder that while there are so many that believe those like me and those that are homosexual should have equal rights and protection, they still vote for republican assholes or democratic wimps that seek to suppress us or refuse to jeopardize their re-election by voting for what is right.
I used to be for "Educating" people with the belief that if you do there is a chance they will see reason. Sadly I find myself becoming more militant and wanting to say if you are not for me then you are against me, even if you choose not to take a side, your choice just put you against me. And if you are against me then I will take my rights even if it means I have to put my boot on your throat and break you. You hate against me, those like me, or my homosexual brother or sister and I will fuck you up. The days if discussion and reasoning are running out, you can only suppress and abuse a people so long before it gets ugly.
Yeah, I am a little mad this week.
Did you see the thing about Texas A&M passing a school legislation that says if you don't like gay people, you don't have to pay for the portion of tuition that goes to the LGBT support center? It's frickin ridiculous. I don't care about the football team, or their stadium, or the rec, so I shouldn't have to pay $200something+ per semester for that, right? I think all of the anti-gay people are kicking it in to gear lately as one last stretch because of the gay marriage bill that, according to what I've seen, the majority of the country has decided should pass (but I guess we'll have to see how the rich white guys feel about it).
ReplyDeleteNo, I did not but I am going to look it up. Thanks
DeleteThat's crazy! I thought people on campus would be less hateful against homosexuals. I guess the world isn't progressing as much when it comes to things like that. I really do hope there is justice and the police finds out who did that.
ReplyDelete+1 because there's really nothing I can add that hasn't been posted or commented.
