Shit People Say To Fat Girls

So I found this video on a Tumblr Blog and thought it was amusing  but also very true at the same time. I for one have heard all of these, a lot of them from family members, and I know a lot of other fat girls have heard the same. I think it's about time we stopped criticizing everyone on their body type and focus on everyone, skinny girls included, getting health.

A Politician with a Sense of Logic

I saw this video on MoveOn.org. Finally a politician uses his logic instead of emotion. I wish more of them were like this. No one deserves to be a second class citizen.

Tim Tebow is no role model in my book

My dad and I were talking about Tim Tebow the other day and my dad mentioned how he is a good role model for kids. Well I promptly disagreed with him, not only because I'm an atheist but because I'm a supporter and part of the LGBT community.

As an atheist, when I have kids, I want to teach them that hard work and determination will win them that game (or anything else that wanted to do) and not God. If they decide to play a sport, I want them to learn that working hard in practice, teamwork, and doing your best is all they need. I don't want them to praise God when they win or to blame God when they lose.

Another reason why I wouldn't want my kids to look up to Tebow is because him and his mother are advocates for the anti-LGBT hate group, focus on the family. My kids will learn that love is love, that no matter if a family consists of two dads, two moms, one mom, one dad or just grandparents, a family is still a family.

I know that my kids will learn of other people's views and morals, but I'm hoping that I and my hubby will have succeeded in teaching them that hate is not a family value.

I want them to know that everyone deserves equal treatment.

Employee of the Month – Good idea or Bad idea?

As you know by now (or maybe not if this is your first time reading my blog, if so Hi!) the hubby and I are in the process of starting our own business, a motorcycle shop to be precise. And we have been discussing Dragon Cycles (our business) a lot lately, especially about getting everything ready for when we find an investor. We are hoping that when we find one and get the money all we’ll have to do is buy the building and equipment and get the people.

We were talking about bonuses when we got on the topic of Employee of the Month. The hubby wants to do it but I’m not sure. See the thing is I’ve never worked somewhere where they had Employee of the Month or at least never worked there long enough to find out.

Michele Bachmann “everyone has equal rights” (sort of…)

I was reading an article earlier (Student questions Michele Bachmann on gay rights) that really annoyed me.

An Iowa teen that is the head of her GSA (Gay Straight Alliance if you don’t know what that means) at her school ask Mrs. Bachmann what she would to support gay rights, like marriage. Well we all know by now that Mrs. Bachmann is against any gay rights. Her answer to the young women was that everyone all ready has the right to get married, as long as you marry someone of the opposite sex.

Family Research Council Hate Video

I found the video below from Laughing in Purgatory, it’s a “Family Research Council” video on how homosexual/bisexual/pansexual or as they say people in “unhealthy relationships” and who are involved in “destructive behavior” are destroying families.

I find it sad that they need a video to push their religious anti-LGBT agenda. So much for their God being “all loving” and atheists being “evil”. Atheists aren’t the one’s trying to destroy others families. 

Wounded Warrior – Derek McConnell

Yesterday I found out about a wounded soldier on the Homefront Blog from Operation Write Home. He was stationed in Afghanistan in March 2011 and on July 23^rd 2011, he lost both legs due to an IED. You can read more of his story here. 

OWH asked us to send cards of encouragement to him. So today I made him a card

Death and a Baby Shower

So Thursday I found out that my grandmother, who lives in Florida, died. And before you start with the sympathy, let me just say that I’m not upset about it, at all.

My morals (are LGBT friendly)

There’s been a lot of talk going on lately online about marriage equality, especially since New York passed it. Why some people think it’s wrong and why other’s think we should have it.

I’ve noticed a lot of people like to say that it goes against their morals or family values. They don’t want their children to learn about LGBT people and equality. They don’t like LGBT people being around their children. LGBT people shouldn’t be allowed to marry. All because it goes against their morals.

I’m all for free speech and people voicing their opinions. However these people tend to forget that there are people out there that have different morals than them. Like me for example; I have very different morals than these people.

I’m for marriage equality. I don’t see a problem if two consenting adults want to get married. I also want my future children to learn about LGBT people, the history of the fight for equality and to learn that all people are equal. I don’t want my children around bigoted straight people. I don’t want my children to learn that being LGBT is a bad thing or something to be ashamed of. I don’t want these people teaching my children in general. I don’t want their negativity and hate around my children. Why? Because it goes against MY morals.

I hate these people that say other people should be treated as second class citizens all because it goes against their morals. What about people like me? Shouldn’t I have a say in this too?

These people will bitch and moan how the government is infringing on their lives and morals when allowing marriage equality. Yet when marriage equality gets shot down they are infringing on my morals.

Our country is all about freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of/from religion, freedom to work and live anywhere we want. Shouldn’t we also have the freedom of marriage equality?
