The Bronx

The Bronx, my childhood home, and one of the five boroughs of New York City which more often than not gets a bad rap, an unfair reputation of being a not-so-nice place.  Certainly not a place to raise your kids.  Fortunately for the United States, a one Mrs. Sotomayor found the Bronx to be a fine place to raise her children.  From the Bronx to the United States Supreme Court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor sits on the highest court in the land.

H8

Supporters of lesbian and gay marriage in cities and towns throughout the United States simultaneously staged protest rallies against the passage of California’s Proposition 8, also known as Proposition Hate, or simply H8.  Electing the first African-American U.S. president while at the same time voting into law a proposition which strips lesbian and gay citizens of equal civil rights epitomizes extreme irony.  And hate.  Let two things be known from this moment on–Whatever religious mask the haters wear, it will be torn away and your true ugliness revealed, AND, and the fight for true equality, justice and civil rights for our LGBT brothers and sisters will go on, in full force, until it is won.

A Constitutional reminder

Truly Christian

Fighting for justice

Calling it what it really is: Proposition 8 = Hate

Jesus was the ultimate civil rights supporter
