Happy Holidays

Well, the right are starting their ridiculous “War on Christmas” thing again. I have been “combating” that with.

EVERY SINGLE TIME.

The whole Happy Holidays things is one of the more stupider things that the Right get upset about. Why, I honestly couldn’t tell you. The world isn’t full of Christians, who stole things from Pagans.

I don’t know what the big fuss is. Then when they say even stupider things like “Well then, they don’t have to join in with the holidays, and they can go to work”. How do people like this function in the real world? People work on Christmas, most likely people who do not celebrate, or just don’t want too. Not all places shut down.

Honestly, I wish we did celebrate other people’s cultural more, than just the “Christian” ones. I love it when Diwali, Dewali, Divali, or Deepavali comes around. I do love light. We live near a few people who celebrate it, and it is lovely!

Serious Stuff – Zero Discrimination Day & Self Injury/Harm Awareness Day

Well this is a heavy topic, and currently I am finally in a flood tears over Travies. So I am going to be putting a trigger warning on this, I would anyway, but I am trying too put a warning in for myself too, lol.

It is interesting to me, that Zero Discrimination and Self Injury/Harm Awareness are on the same day. As we progress in this world, since I am, at least, willing to admit that I don’t understand about self harming. I don’t think I’ve ever know someone who self harms. My father is an alcoholic, and while I think that is self harm. I doubt that’s what this self harm is about.

Usually when someone discriminates against another it’s because they don’t understand, so they put their fears onto someone else.

I guess all I ask for today is if you are upset, just be careful what you say and how you react to people today.

Next time you feel “sorry” for Israel Folau

I am writing this post after I saw an article with the heading “Another lifeline for Folau”. For those who don’t know Israel Folau is/was an Australian Rugby. A player who repeatedly made very anti-lgbt comments, even though it was against the contract he signed and he was warned repeatedly.

What makes me angry the most is his supporters saying his “Freedom of Speech” is being taken away. He still hasn’t deleted the tweets, he hasn’t been arrested, he’s not been banned from social media. He lost his job because he because he went against his contract, that he signed, that assuming he actually read.

This post is about actual discrimination, actual persecution against the LGBT. People who have actually died from the lgbt community. Links and Facts to actual persecution and actual discrimination. Please feel free to share:

But you know…Folau is the totally the victim with losing an overpaid unnecessary job.

Dear followers of religions, when you claim you are being discriminated against because there are consequences when you try to discriminate against others, you do our heads in.

Welcome to my multicultural life…

Blame the alcohol, blame the tired mind from a long week. I really do love my multicultural life.

I have gay people, religious people, jock people, nerdy people and they are all truly wonderful in their own little ways. However, I do feel extremely uncomfortable whenever I have to read someone saying that we should get rid of “that whole group”. Doesn’t really matter which way it goes, it really doesn’t. Whenever you say “all” of a group, to me, you become lesser than that WHOLE group.

Sure, get rid of the extremist in any group, they are typically always dangerous and really feed the hatred and fear.

But anyone who can say this man should be “gotten rid of” has something seriously wrong with them!
