I love Keith Olbermann. He was one of the few who I could stand to listen to, even if I didn’t always agree with him. I happen to agree with him on THIS subject…and he said it beautifully!
What passion, common sense and straight-speaking from the heart. It is a disgrace that today in 2011 so many people in this big world of ours still suffer prejudice and are denied equal rights.
A few years back I had a sociology teacher who was gay and she explained to us exactly the lengths her and her partner have had to go to just to give each other the same legal rights to make decisions on each others behalf that a married couple would have if the other was hospitalised, incapacitated or died. It is a ridiculous situation that a committed couple should have to jump through so many hoops to have similar rights to those that married, heterosexual couples take for granted.
I truly hope that common sense and compassion rule the day soon.
Thank you for this link, I believe that they base this all on “FEAR” that is to say False Evidence Appearing Real. I will now go and say a few mantras to clear some toxic thoughts as I do get angry about all of this..

We sure are missing Keith Olbermann since MSNBC silenced him. He was a strong and steady voice for many.
What a magnificent man indeed!
Beautiful, impassioned and articulate.
I’ve never heard of him, must look him up…
The world does not need discrimination of any sort IMHO.
Proposition 8 is, or should be, anathema to anybody who calls themself a human being.
This man has my support 100%.

Dear FD,
Thank you for this link, I believe that they base this all on “FEAR” that is to say False Evidence Appearing Real. I will now go and say a few mantras to clear some toxic thoughts as I do get angry about all of this..
Very nice. Thank you for posting this.
I too appreciate you posting this.
Thanks for sharing that. Passionate and emotional, it gets to the heart of the matter!
I’m glad to have seen it. What a great person he is.
He did, indeed, say it magnificently. Rationality seems to be in short supply here these days.
I miss his voice.
Have had a go recently in various posts concerning the USA. Presumably this gentleman is American. A credit to the place. Thanks.
