A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

Hallelujah and Get Ready to Vote!!!!!





Ok ok ok.  I know. The next US presidential election is like a year away. But I gotta tell ya, I LOVED this ad.

First, I think Hillary Clinton is the only person running who has what it takes to truly handle foreign policy. I mean, how are we gonna do better then someone who has been Secretary of State? And, clearly from the ad, she's pro-gay-rights. Excellent......

And you know why I'm happy to vote nothing but Democratic in the next big election? I'm seriously tired of seeing members of the Republican party put time and effort into bills that I just can't support. For instance:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/11/survivors-crusade-conversion-therapy-ban-pray-gay-away
In the above article is the following quote:
"Last year, Texas Republicans adopted a platform backing reparative therapy “for those patients seeking healing and wholeness from their homosexual lifestyle” and stating no laws to prohibit it should be introduced." 
'Reparative therapy' is not what a lot of folks think it is. It's dangerous.

Homosexual lifestyle? Lifestyle? Yes, I'm sure someone would totally choose to be looked down upon in our society. I'm sure someone would choose to deal with discrimination their whole life. NOT!!!!!  It's not a 'lifestyle'. If someone is gay, it's not a choice. Period. Full stop.

Peace.
