Missing Husband

We all shout about the constitutional rights that we have under a democracy in the USA. According to the mass entry Wikipedia here are the rights.


You notice that last one? Its nothing so scary, the right to marry. That's great. Why wouldn't I be allowed to marry who ever I want? Well, if it were a same sex marriage.

I'm not going to open a discussion here about same sex marriage. My beliefs are quite simple - if you want to spend the rest of your life with someone then you should have the right to marry.

Here's a story about a young couple who cannot stay together thanks to US Immigration:



Its this kind of situation that makes me question our Rights altogether.

It Gets Better

2010 wasn’t an easy year for the LGBT community. Despite political victories like a federal judge’s overturning of California’s Proposition 8 (which made gay marriage illegal) and the recent repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” a series of suicides of gay teens cast a dark shadow over the movement and pointed out how long our society still has to go on the long road towards tolerance.

In an attempt to reach out to other young LGBT people, there was a huge outpouring of support from the comedy community, organized by Dan Savage. With a simple, powerful message -– “It gets better” -– comedians all over the country reminded young homosexuals that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and that if you ever feel under attack for your sexual orientation, hey, you can always take improv classes.
