Saturday, December 21 Zippety Dooo Da..Zippety Gay
So will all the crappy stuff going on the world; war, racism, anti-Semitism, terrorism, Trent Lottism, it was downright shocking when one truly decent thing managed to occur. I’m not sure if you folks noticed amidst all the photos of Trent Lott looking constipated and Saddam Hussein looking, well somewhat the opposite, but it looks like the long awaited gay rights bill will finally get voted into effect in New York State. Didn’t take long, only oh 31 years but it seems like good ol New York will finally add sexual orientation to it’s discrimination laws on housing, employment, public accommodation, education and credit. Not sure what the credit part means, but I’m guessing that American Express will not be able to turn me down on the basis of my having a pink triangle tattooed on my forehead. Hurray! Only kidding about the tattoo…… for now. With a 34-26 vote in the state Senate this past Tuesday, the Sexual Orientation Non-Discrimination Act (better known as SONDA) seems to be a shoe in. Although I think I best not say it as I don’t want to jinx things. So I’ll say it’s looking good. Even our oh so Republican Governor George Pataki, lent his support to the cause. Wow! First Guiliani turns into a nice guy now this! What’s the world coming to?? Of course we in the know, know that New York City has had a nondiscrimination rule in place for hmm 16 years! Hello! New York State! What took ya so long?~! But what the heck..better late than never. Hell, the fact that Republicans were out there fighting for this to pass is cause uno for thinking not only is hell freezing over, but shit..I’m gonna go buy a lottery ticket tomorrow. Anything can happen. So just when I was thinking nothing else great can happen after this, Trent Lott steps down. To tell you the truth I kinda wanted him to stick around cause he was doing more for the Democrats than any dem I know but his stepping down did send out a loud message to one and all. “You can be a racist &^%$#*jerk, but you better keep your damn mouth shut or we will shut it for you.” Until there is peace, harmony and equality for all in this world that’ll have to do. Meanwhile....how much does a pink triangle tattooed on your forehead hurt? Anyone know?
