Blog for Choice Day 2008
Besides the whole ‘no abortion to save the babies’ thing the anti-choice movement wants to ban all contraception. Despite the fact that that would drive up the abortion rate. The again the Catholic church and their fundamentalist allies have never let a little thing like in consistent or contradictory positions bother them. But these positions are only contradictory if you buy their official position that it is all about the babies. Their real agenda is to keep women in a subordinate position, it’s all about control and power,
The control thing is also why the anti-choice movement opposes sex education; it’s so much easier to maintain control if you keep them un-educated. That abstinence only education doesn’t work is beside the point, when they have sex anyway you have another lever of guilt to control the poor kids.
What you may ask does this have to do with voting pro-choice? The point is that he anti-choice movement is run by authoritarian fuck-wads who want to control the most intimate part of your life. Unless you like the idea of these busybodies intruding into your bedroom you had better vote pro-choice. The sex life you save may be your own.

Now that is Gender Queer at it’s finest. But not their only explicitly Gender Queer video

HRC and Barney Frank want to be Borg……
The conflict between the HRC and the groups comprising the United ENDA Coalition mirror the conflicts between trade and industrial unions and integrationist and black national groups among others. It is the conflict between moderate reformers who want just enough change to get the benefits of the middle class for themselves and radicals who want to transform the whole society to a hopefully better society for all. If you haven’t guessed I am a radical hence my pride in my queerness. I am well aware of the murderous excesses that have been carried out in the name of radical transformation of society and thoroughly deplore them. The problem with moderate reforms is they do not change the underling power structure and that power structure can always push to abolish the reforms if the effects become to troubling for them, the elimination of affirmative action is a recent example of this. So remember my peeps, SMASH THE STATE!

Don’t pray for me anymore….
I am an Atheist. A nice short sentence that, I also support Richard Dawkin’s OUT campaign to learn more about the OUT campaign click on the scarlet A on the right side of the page.
Hm what? You want to know why I’m an atheist? OK, it’s really quite simple I see no direct evidence and very little indirect evidence for the existence of any god or goddess. Add in that the Universe can be adequately explained with out recourse to any gods or goddesses and you come to me not believing any of them. Want more? Just look at the shear number of beings put forward by people as the one true god or goddess, they can’t all be right but they can all be wrong. I am open to being proved wrong but citing you’re favorite holy book isn’t going to do it, that’s hear say evidence at best.
Oh and a few more things, I don’t hate god I just don’t believe in him, her or it. I would never try to restrict you from believing in your god or goddess noir would I try to force my (non)belief on you, please do me the same curtsey.
