Sexual Apartheid
RECEIVED Sun., Oct. 5, 2008
Dear Editor,
Someone once said about Obama that he was mentally engineering responses as opposed to McCain speaking from his gut. Mental engineering. I don't know what to say. I do know if I don't say that mental engineering means actually thinking about something, someone somewhere might not get how stupid it is that it's not stupid to mentally engineer your thoughts. Or I might also think about how disheartened I was that all four punks in the political circle are against gay marriage. They claim to be for every civil right for gay people, the right to be allowed on insurance, the right to hospital visitation, the rights accorded all married couples except actual marriage. Biden, yes Biden (because I expect it of the McCain camp), speaks of all the civil rights of gay people except marriage. It's oppression; it's separate but equal; it's sexual apartheid.
