  Whatever: Being Poor
Being poor is discovering that that letter from Duke University, naming you as one of three advanced students in your class invited to test out of HS early into their scholarship program, is just so much firestarter because the $300 it costs to take the test may as well be $3 million.
Being poor means that even after you get unpoor and clean up your messes, you still get denied things like a checking account because the system can keep your error on their record for 7-10 years, even though you did clean up your mess as quickly as you could.
Being poor is thinking about the man who propositioned you while you were walking home some time back, and wondering just what he wanted to do to you or have you do to him, and how much he might be willing to pay for that.

 [No title]
The typical gay person gets up in the morning, has breakfast, goes to work (or church if it is Sunday or a feastday, and he/she is Orthodox), comes home, does the laundry, errands, etc.; if he or she goes to a bar, chances are it's to do nothing more than chat with some friends.
There are still, of course, plenty of gays in isolated areas who live in constant fear of violence, estrangement from family and friends, and the like, not to mention eternal damnation from the slightest thought about their orientation.
To conclude, it should be said that gay people should not have to waste years of their life being tormented by the idea that their God-given capacity to love is a sin to be utterly suppressed.

 Exodus: Live Out Loud: Boise Gay Activists Hijack Civil Rights Movement
I believe this is one more example of gay activists hijacking the true civil rights movement fought in the 1950’s and 60’s by African Americans who risked their lives to attain freedom and equality.
The truth is that gay men and women have never had to use different restrooms, sit in restricted dining rooms at restaurants, been forced to the back of the bus or denied the right to vote.
The gay activist community (who doesn’t speak for all gay identified people) would have us all believe that they are second class citizens battling for their very survival.

 Singapore gay equality movement - SgWiki
People Like Us (PLU), a major spokesgroup of the local gay intelligentsia, has been one of the few organisations which have actively campaigned for equal rights for homosexuals in Singapore and may be considered part of a broader anti-authoritarian movement.
People Like Us began as a small discussion group, with a handful of friends in 1993 who felt that oppression of homosexuals stemming primarily from the Penal Code needed to be addressed.
Gay businesses- creative ventures such as fridae.com, the gay spa, pub, disco and entertainment industry, started by pioneering gay entrepreneurs, all of which provide employment and contribute to the vibrancy of the Singapore economy.

 What the Bible Says - And Doesn't Say - About Homosexuality
I'm pleading for the lives of my lesbian sisters and gay brothers who are rejected by their friends and families, fired by their employers, denied their civil rights, refused full membership in their churches, and kill themselves or are killed by others -- all on the basis of these six or seven verses.
I found that the only people who were able to break free of the dangerous influence of such Bible-quoting cultic gurus were the ones who took the Bible seriously enough to study the texts themselves and make their own decisions about their meaning.
While there are some people now living in heterosexual marriages who once perceived themselves to be gay, there are millions of gay and lesbian persons who have accepted their sexual orientation as a gift from God and live productive and deeply spiritual lives.

 The obligatory "gay rights" post | Progressive U
Heck, even straights can be discriminated against simply for being straight (one site used an example of a straight man being denied the chance to work at a gay bar).
Of course, such people claimed that their religion/beliefs/alien overlords prohibited them from ever accepting "immoral" behavior such as loving a member of the same sex, and therefore why should they be forced to hire people like that?
It's already been determined that it's wrong to discriminate against people of a different skin color, ethnic origin, gender, nationality, amount of limbs, intelligence, and a whole other wealth of things that are taken as common sense.

Fredericton Mayor Brad Woodside is the latest on a lengthening list of Canadian municipal officials to suffer harassment from human rights tribunals over refusals to proclaim Gay Pride Day in their communities.
Provincial Labour Minister Rory Lieshman, who is responsible for the Human Rights Commission, gave the mayor until January to settle his differences on this issue with the gay rights activists, after which a board of inquiry will be convened.
The commissions have served notice that when gay-lesbian-bisexual organizations request a gay pride proclamation, mayors must say precisely what the commissions deem politically correct or be held personally liable to heavy fines.

 The Blessings of Gay or Same Sex Marriage
You've heard all the arguments against gay marriage: that it represents a threat to the core values of Western civilization; that it undermines the institution of the family; that it's unnatural, unhealthy, and un-Christian.
My experience is that when gay couples participate as contributing members of any community of faith, other members of the community welcome their contributions and their participation.
When people of faith see this happening in their own communities they will be eager to celebrate the blessings they have experienced personally.

For many gay people who did not read the book, the book's existence became immensely important - here was an important historian, one who taught at Yale, who had put forth a book *with footnotes*, a book which made it clear that *we* have a past.
Dinshaw made clear here her discomfort with this approach: she argued that she was committed to a "constructionist view of history"; that Boswell's gay essence looked very like the "gay identity" of the post Stonewall period; and that Boswell overlooked difference between that identity and, for instance institutionalized pederasty.
