its a day early but i wanted to send you my wish before the parade of cards hit your desk. i hope you are going to spend the day with your family, your kids and wife. you have a wife who is, as so aptly said by miss california, "of the opposite sex", so it is legal in the u.s. to actually travel with her in all 50 states without worry that some religious zealot may not want to honor your marriage.
i wonder mister president, have you spoken to senators mc cain, vittor and ensign, are they planning on spending fathers day with their mistresses, or their first wives or their mistresses who became their new wife. kind of confusing isn't, it how to spend fathers day, when one strays from the solid, unbreakable INSTITUTION of MARRIAGE. but then they are all heterosexuals so if they alter the INSTITUTION of MARRIAGE, its okay.
but i digress. i want to wish you a happy father's day from one dad to another. we have somethings in common, i have two kids, and i am an american citizen, but we kind of stop after that i suppose, because drat, damn, darn i am gay. you know, mister president, the kind of american who is separate but equal. you recently made it very clear, by not speaking loud and clear about your opposition to separate but equal, yeah you gave a little on the DOMA, a wee bit, and you have remained silent, VERY silent on don't ask don't tell even when a few really bright and very valuable armed services men and women asked you to talk loud and proud.
as dads with kids and of course spouses, oops, there we go again, separate but equal, we both get to share father's day with our family and kids. except, i call my other half my partner, but when i travel the u.s. with him, others refer to him as my friend, and i sure hope when we do travel its not to one of those nasty states that won't allow me to see him if he should happen to go to the hospital. i'm sure you have no problems if that should happen to mrs obama, thank god! would be awkward to continue carrying a legal document explaining something so intimate as loving your spouse.
happy fathers day. i don't want to be long in my rhetoric as i am sure you have lots of things planned for this day. but speaking of rhetoric, it seems yours has grown tiresome and patronizing on the subject of glbt community. your gays are growing quite dissatisfied with your POLI-RHETORIC. I coined that phrase, POLI-RHETORIC after listening to you lament about civil rights and human rights and doing very little aside from saying you would. (POLI-RHETORIC is similar to a hot air ballon, once you speak, just like in politics the speech becomes full of hot air and floats into space, never ever finding its way to earth.) you appealed to gays who became your gays and said change was on its way, change we could count on. i am still counting. I did not however come up with the term your gays, it is a pet phrase used by kathy griffin. she treats her gays very well, and realizes she need not patronize or ignore them because without them she goes from a "d" list performer to a non performer.
it seems, mister president, that some of your gays, and i am one of them are beginning to discuss what we should do to get you to move on something so simple as human and civil rights for all americans in this country, even lbgt americans.
some of your gays, think we should let you tackle the BIG issues left for you by another president who did very little to acknowledge the lbgt community, mister bush. they think you will get to the human and civil rights of the lbgt community eventually. get to it!!! when does someone even have to prioritize getting to human and civil rights.
some of your gays think that maybe money will speak louder than a physical protest. this is america after all. so some of your gays as you know want to withhold supporting the dnc in raising funds. imagine if all those fabulously wealthy gays didn't write checks in support of politicians who only just gave lip service
and some gays think you have become just like everyone else in washington d.c., a POLITICIAN. those gays think you are waiting to take on the gay issues after you win the confidence of some bigoted, small minded hateful, americans and run for a second term and become president again. if you did that you would realize your dreams and goals but the lbgt community who wants to marry and celebrate father's day with their families would be out in the cold for another 4 plus years.
"four more years, four more years", worked well for mister bush's popularity!
oh one more question, really off the father's day congratulation message i am sending you. do you think politicians have consciences? and if they do, do they ever have guilty consciences?
so happy father's day!
