… TOMORROW!

A law protecting all of our citizens against senseless hate violence is long overdue. Two years ago, radical right-wing groups and George W. Bush’s veto threat blocked the Matthew Shepard Act, which would outlaw hate crimes based on both sexual orientation and gender identity. But now the bill is back.

Tell Congress we need the Matthew Shepard Act to help ensure safety and security for ALL people.

Please go to the Human Rights Campaign Action Center and make your voice heard against hate crimes!

The Pagan Sphinx has clear and simple instructions for you to call your congress person. It seems that the hate mongers are up to no good as usual,

flooding Congress with calls, emails and sickening “fact sheets” claiming that sexual orientation means criminal acts like bestiality and necrophilia, and that this bill protects those behaviors.

So please help to combat them by calling your rep!!!

(This makes me crazy. It’s so stupid in the first place to claim that sexual orientation is bestiality and necrophilia, but even if it were, fer chrissakes, would that make it okay to beat a necrophiliac to death? Sheesh!)

Peace, out!

Well… okay.  One more because I simply can’t resist:

Thanks for stopping by!   I’m off to visit now!

Okay so I’m a dork.  Yes, this is a song in response to my earlier song.  Hahaha.

Not really.  It’s a song in response to those of you who “Stand By Me”.

With love… (YouTube below the lyrics)

Album:     Last Of The Independents
Title:     I’ll Stand By You

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
’cause I’ve seen the dark side too
When the night falls on you
You don’t know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you

So if you’re mad, get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you
When you’re standing at the crossroads
And don’t know which path to choose
Let me come along
’cause even if you’re wrong

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you

And when…
When the night falls on you, baby
You’re feeling all alone
You won’t be on your own

I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you

I’ll stand by you
Take me in, into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
