This is a good move but I don't care for Hillary Clinton. Remember that there are trans republicans and libertarians too.
One reason is that I am from Arkansas and I remember Bill and Hillary before they ever hit the Whitehouse. The Whitewater scandal with Jim and Susan McDougal. Bill pardoned Susan McDougal but Jim McDougal died in prison. Maple Creek Farms? Anyone remember that? That was part of the Whitewater scandal. I remember seeing Jim and Susan McDougal on TV advertising the subdivision. The two teens that were run over in Alexander by a MoPac train? One was supposedly dead before the train hit them. And the other had injuries not related it seemed to a train running over him. Something tied them to the Clintons but I can't remember what. But all that was scrubbed. I lived by RR tracks all my life and no matter how projectile vomiting drunk I got or how high I got I and everyone else always knew you don't lay on tracks to go to sleep. For one it is too uncomfortable. And then Vince Foster and his mysterious death or suicide. And then there is the Mena Airfield, the infidelity with a cigar when the government was suing the tobacco companies but the Whitehouse had a humidor. Plus at the time I was driving a truck cross country and I could not eat before I got to Arkansas because the roads were so rough that it would make me sick. After the Clinton governorship the I40 and I30 corridors got fixed.
For me with the Clintons it's too much bullshit and controversy and drama. Bernie got Berned by the DNC it seems. So the RNC had a gay member of the Log Cabin Republicans speak. The LCRs are for LGBT rights too. We have quite a few republican allies in the senate.
This movement and our momentum is not a government thing. It is a social thing and people are socially changing. I mean Trump included LGBTs and said he would fight for us and our rights against those that would want to harm us.
Times are changing. It isn't the politics that will change for us but society which pretty much is fed up with politicians and political ploys. I mean just because I am trans and the Dems seem LGBT friendly and think they can count on me to help put Hillary in office? I don't think so. Obama and Hillary both were against gay marriage before they were for it. People do not change their beliefs overnight unless they want something from you and then lie to you in order to get it. If Hillary gets in office and starts wearing a suit instead of a pantsuit and then flirts with female interns then I may believe she can identify with me. If the first husband starts wearing a dress and grows his hair long then I may think they both can identify with us.
Personally I would rather feel safe in a night club without the worry of someone coming in and yelling Allah Hu Akbar and trying to kill me than I would be marrying my boyfriend. Oh wait. Gay marriage is legal. The supreme court ruled on it. So if my guy and I want to go get married in a state that will issue licenses for gay marriage then we could. Then we could come back home and still be recognized as being a married couple. Shhhhh. Don't tell him though.
Yeah he knows but actually respects me enough to wait until I am ready.
I must be stupid because I'm actually thinking about it.
I'm thinking maybe Vegas. Elvis would be a hell of a Justice of the Peace.
Plus he isn't hurting and I ain't so a thousand in the slots may prove to be lucky. Aghh who am I kidding? I hate gambling so a few shows and maybe not even leaving the room for the whole time. He is so fucking hot or to me anyways.
But since I am a tightwad we would go during the week when the hotels and restaurants are cheaper.
Just because you are trans or LGB, don't get sucked into being a voting block. The Dems want our votes and the Reps want our votes. I would rather not be shot or killed by lax laws and sympathetic politicians with a soft spot for radical Islam or racism or opposite racism or anything else just because I want to be me.
This is why I hate politics. I hate being a pawn. I am trans. Actually I could be classified as G too. I think I am straighter than I have ever been but others think because I have a penis and like men I am gay makes me gay I guess.
The only ones that can count on my vote is the one that I believe that will be the best in whatever office. Now you didn't think the dems wouldn't try to one up the rep at their convention didja'? So the republicans had a gay so the dems got a transwoman. Same ol' same ol'.
Let's not put our fate in politicinas and politics. Let's keep the momentum going without being blinded by the red light or blue light and let people know who we really are. Does anyone think that Hillary or Trump knows how we feel? I don't think so. We have momentum and lets keep that going and forget about those that kiss ass to get in office. Let's worry about society because society will be the ones that ultimately have to accept and respect us. When laws are passed then people get pissed if they don't agree with the law. I would rather change social views by letting people see that we don;t eat children. That we don't rape women in restrooms or come on to men in restrooms. That we just want to be and express who we are peacefully and we span all races, walks of life, political ideals and so on.
I actually hate every four years because it seems to seperate us as left or right. Well socially I am left and fiscally I am right. So that makes me center or libertarian more or less.
