National Anthem not for All?

As Pride weekend approaches a slew of emotions rush through my head. When we have a couple of queer channels, a dozen of out actors/singers and the lesbian daughter of the Vice-President giving birth to a child you pretty much start thinking that all is done and that the purpose of these civic events have outlived their purpose. Then along comes a so called christian that just makes you wake up from the stupor with his vitriol about gay agendas and children indoctrination. All this in regards to the Gay Men's Chorus singin the National Anthem at a Padres Games July 8th.

We live our lives watching 80s video clips in youtube clicking Buy Now buttons in Amazon and gay.com thinking all is just fine and dandy, and that it is only a matter of time before Jake Gyllenhaal works up the nerve to ask your hand in matrimony. Activism is such a harsh word because it evokes street protests and in my case Chilean Carabineros throwing sewer water from huge tanks to disperse the "communist" from the public view. This a preconceived notion that does not fit the way to protest in the XXI century. It is time for us to fight fallacies with truth and real information.

I really hope that some day Pride as an activity would just serve the same purpose as St. Patrick's Day parade or Rockin' Eve, until then the more people realize how " the gays " have fun, cry and fall in love just as any other son of God the better for all humans as then we will be able to confront the real problems that concern us as a species.
