What year is it? Oh yeah.....

I get that politics are ugly... people are uncomfortable confronting other points of view which may be drastically opposing to their own and to do so in a civilized manner can at times be unnerving, especially when u are passionate about your beliefs. Like I said, I get it.

So understandably, most people don't want to blog about, tweet about or otherwise share how they feel for worry of causing offense. I feel however, that in holding back my beliefs and my passions I would be even more offensive because of my would be false pretense. Mutual respect requires honesty.

So I must be honest. I am outraged that public officials feel comfortable making prejudice statements in the year 2011. I learned tonight that Clark County Commissioner and former (thank god he was defeated!!!!) Las Vegas Mayoral candidate Larry Brown campaigned stating that he would support repeal of Nevada's Domestic Partnership Law. Not only does this asshole believe that we are not all created equal but he also has no regard for the responsibility of public officials to represent ALL of their constituents. I can't wait for this scumbag to run for re-election!

I wish that more people would take a stand for what they believe in.... whatever it may be.
