Arizona Gay Chamber of Commerce Cares About Money Not Human Rights

Posted by Sheila Putang on Friday, July 2, 2010, In : Gay Rights and Politics

I stumbled across an article tonight, and basically came to a conclusion. If the Arizona Chamber of Gays and Lesbians commerce would rather much have gay rights groups end a boycott over an immigration law because its hurting business.

Only in America is the mighty dollar more important then civil rights. And there are too many lazy people out there that really do not give a damn. What is happening to our country?

Does Organized Religion Want To Rule The World?

Posted by Sheila Putang on Saturday, March 6, 2010, In : Religion

I am not writing this to you right now as just a LGBT cause but a cause that needs to be addressed by everybody not just gay, black, white etc. With many different things that have happened over the years it is seeming that its not just President Obama wanting to rule the world, but Organized Religion seems that they believe that they already do.

I remember a conversation that I had with my dear late friend Rev. Brett Harris during the time Maine was having there vote for Gay Marriage. He me...

Equality Groups and Support for ENDA

Posted by Sheila Putang on Wednesday, November 11, 2009, In : Gay Rights and Politics

The house of representatives are scheduled to do their own hearings in a few weeks. It comes to a shock to me that I don't see that many equality groups switching the fight from Gay Marriage to rallying support for ENDA. The only group that even touched based on it, is the HRC.

I totally understand that Marriage Equality is important to our LGBT Community but ENDA is just as i...

Standing Up for what you Believe In

Posted by Sheila Putang on Wednesday, November 4, 2009, In : Gay Rights and Politics

Sometimes were scared to stand up for what we believe in because it will either cause problems with our family, our friends, our work etc.

But what if you believe in a cause so much that your heart aches for it, that you will do anything to see it happen, but then allow Society to stop you from doing it?

Well as some of you know the price we pay for being gay with all the hetro's out there that fear that by allowing us to have equal human rights would destroy there values, is almost extremely high. However did you know that it can cost us financially too?
