Bishop John Shelby Spong's Manifesto
Bolton 10/31/2009 7:49 PM
I'm so happy to hear Bishop John Shelby Spong declare equality for gays and lesbians won and the battle over. When do I get my $350 back for my vehicle transfer tax when we traded my spouse's truck for a new truck in my name? Does this mean I can die and my spouse will get my social security? Somehow I believe that my representative John Payne will still suggest that I leave Pennsylvania in order to find equality, and Senator Piccola will still tell me that I do have equality since I'm just as free to marry a woman as any other man. Rep. Helm most likely still believes that we should include sexual orientation and gender identity into our non-discrimination law, but do to that ever pressing slippery slope, won't sign it for fear it will mean my marriage might get recognized. Have the central Pa. Congress House Representatives signed the repeal of DOMA bill? No?... I didn't think so. Perhaps Pa. Senator Eichelberger, Folmer et al, decided not to write words of discrimination into Pa's constitution, and instead signed the Pa. Marriage Equality Bill... hmmm, nope, still only two names there.
Decades ago, Harvey Milk thought he made great progress, and some drag queens in NYC stood up to police raids, but politically, we've only gone backwards since then.
