Election Day is right around the corner. Everyone is excited and more passionate than I ever remember from any other election. And rightfully so. The state of our union is undeniably sad. We’re looking for solutions to the problems, we’re looking for hope to get us through when nothing else can.
My hope lies with Barack Obama.
As i get older and as I face this bastard that is cancer, I no longer feel the need to be something I’m not. I no longer feel the need to be “politically correct” or agree with those who are my friends and family simply because they are part of my life.
One of the things that I have started to become outspoken about are equal rights for gays and lesbians. Specifically the right to marry, to have the same opportunitites that heterosexual couples have and misuse every single day.
Love is love is love is love.
Gay, straight, bisexual, transgendered, {insert the term that best describes you} makes absolutely no difference when it comes to the heart.
Love is blind. Love is unbiased. Love is without prejudice. Love is one size fits all.
As Americans it should be our goal to let go of the hate. We should be the first to step up and let the world know that there is no place in our world for prejudice. No place for hatred or inequality.
A huge thanks to Sinclair Sexsmith at Sugarbutch Chronicles for her amazing activism posts that I pass along to those who need to know and understand what we’re fighting for.

I like to think that I am just your average fat bisexual submissive housewife with a heart of gold. When I'm not battling cancer I can usually be found tackling the joys and pitfalls that come with being not only an ex-wife and a mother but also a sexual abuse survivor. I believe that healing is possible even when it comes to sex lives. And when our house finally falls silent at the end of the day I chronicle my journey for the world to see. My writing covers everything from relationships and marriage to sex advice pieces and sex toy reviews.Soon I hope to begin podcasting and other collaborative projects. And if you didn't know it yet, I'm a comment and email junkie, so don't hesitate to drop me a line.
