my civil rights


Mitt Romney wants you to know that allowing same-sex couples to visit each other in the hospital is a benefit — not a civil right — and he will let states take away that “benefit” if they want to. Two years ago, President Obama mandated that all hospitals treat same-sex couples the same way they treat heterosexual couples, including visitation rights. (That’s also included, separately, in Obamacare.)(Huff Post). Loving your partner is a benefit if you are GAY. Caring for your partner is a benefit if you are GAY. A benefit one must earn or beg the state legislature to provide for you, according to Mitt Romney. This election is about MY civil rights it IS about a bevy of bogus bias based on nothing else but ignorance laced with religious bigotry. Who are you Mr Romney or your henchmen and women to consider my visitation, care, concern as benefits? If being a member of the Latter Day Saints has prejudiced your moral character then you have no right to be the president of this nation? If catering to the self victimizing lunatics who who only learned how to hate from their families or  churches has capsulized your opinion then you are as ignorant of the Constitution as the flunkies who use it to wipe their asses. Also on the table for Mitt, filed under “states rights” and not civil rights, is adoption of children by same-sex couples, and, presumably, single gay people.(Huff Post) Amazing, Mitt how you state your religious values guide you and how proud you are of your work in the church. What does your church say about the thousands of abandoned kids left in abuse, poverty, without love by heterosexual couples? What does your church say about the heterosexual parents who have little use for their offspring, who don’t want that awful burden of raising them? Does you church insist these kids live in foster care, that they rot on vine because they just didn’t ripen good enough. You are a callous man Mr. Romney to think that love is not shared by all adults and that love can also be abused by all adults. A man of honor would look at the qualities of the individual Mr. Romney, but then you have NOT demonstrated any honor from the day you announced you candidacy. You are an advocate of states rights Mitt, you brag about it. States rights instead of civil rights caused the states of the South to secede from the Union because some states thought slavery was cool. States rights instead of civil rights permitted some states to provide separate drinking fountains, segregated schools and riding in the back of the bus. States rights instead of civil rights allowed certain neighborhoods to post signs saying NO JEWS, CATHOLICS, NEGROS or DOGS. This election IS ABOUT my rights as a man who is constantly reminded by homophobes like Mitt Romney that being Gay is nit equal. That being Gay does not make you a real American. And if you support Romney/Ryan you must agree. It is a sad statement that MY Civil rights don’t count by Romney/Ryan and the anyone who casts a ballot for them.
