International Day Against Homophobia, May 17, 2008

This year's International Day Against Homophobia is Saturday, May 17.  Originally developed as an event in Canada, this educational day is spreading as an annual event throughout the world (thank you Canada.) This year's theme is healthcare issues. Please visit their website for more information on the day and the activities taking place this year.  While the activities listed are based in Canada, reading about the work others are doing around the International Day Against Homophobia may spark an idea for an event your community can participarte in.  

Materials for the day are also available on the website http://www.homophobiaday.org.

Well that was good timing what with the California court ruling.

I was going to joke that we have several people here we could send in as real-life-candiates--but man I get so tired of this BS.

Sometimes I actually think to myself that no one is going to change the homophobes....and I think I'm right...it's the homophobes children & grandchildren we need to get a hold of.

Wouldnt it be nice if there was no need for a day like this?

Tomorrow is also Armed Forces Day.  But that might be a bit offensive to the politically correct folks.  

*sigh*

COLOR ME:  Confronting the haters, the bigots and race baiters, warmongers and the social racketeers since 1962.

My grandparents, my parents, my siblings, my cousins, my siblings children both men and women have served, and are serving in the military!   And, friends also.

What is more than a 'bit' offensive is someone like you!

Thank you for posting this, Pinky!

 My Dad was career army, my brother served during Viet Nam, all of my uncles served in WWII and one was shot down over the Pacific.

For what reason?  People with minds don't get offended that two things are commemorated on the same day. 

 Both are occasions I'm happy enough to share with my birthday.

And since here it is officially 45 minutes into it, allow me to be the first to wish you a very happy birthday, LF! 

Why thank you. 10 minutes yet to go in my timezone.

Perhaps some of your father/brother/uncle/etc's fellow officers/soldiers/etc may well have been gay... dild that fact change their job/passion for thier country/protection of their fellow soldiers/protection of thier country...their PATRIOTISM??:? Oh for goodness sake, I think NOT!! Stop the silly  paranoia!!!!!!!!!!!!!
