Hi-fives to The Gays!

We’re here, we’re queer! How many of us gays and lesbians think, and shout this everyday? How many of us believe it? Yes, we’re queer, and yes, we are here, a statistic of everyday society. But, are we really HERE?

Gays and lesbians will have a never-ending struggle to blend in with the rest of society, simply because it is against the common heterosexual lifestyle. No one will ever be 100% comfortable with two people of the same sex being married, having children, and/or sharing equal benefits rights in the workplace and elsewhere. We fight everyday for this though, and we will continue until the end of this life, as we know it.

Gay marriage is slowly becoming widespread throughout the states, and countries around the world. The Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Repeal Act of 2010 was just signed into effect on December 23rd.  Strides are being made, but at a very slow process. Patience is virtue? Well, let’s hope.

We cannot forget the six gay suicides that occurred this year, due to bullying and injustices. Steps are being made forward, yet the strong winds that gays and lesbians are walking into continue to push us backwards. Stumble, but never fall; the queer philosophy.

Go gays!
