Recently, the New York state senate voted on a bill to legalize same sex marriage. Unfortunally, this bill did not pass the votes were 38-24 in favor of killing the bill.
Sadly democrat's could not gather enough people to out way the others, and some republicans that would have voted for the bill backed out because they were fearful. New York is now one of the 31 state who have not passed this bill. out of 36 states. this appalls me because there were at least 5 republicans that muttered no while choking back tears, because of publicity.
"I am angry, I'm disappointed, I'm sad, I'm let down, I'm betrayed, but I am not going away." says assemblymen Tom Duane; who sponsored the bill.
But others are also trying to make it and be accepted in society. young LGBT's are being teased and harassed everywhere, but finally there are people standing up for them. the "It gets better project" has quickly made a name for itself. using videos and logs to show gay, lesbian,bisexual, and transgender teens that they are not alone in this, and that it gets better.
Even president Obama has made a video to show his support for the troubled youth. reaching out to LBGT youths. It's time to take action, teens are being abused because of there sexual orientation, because of that teens are committing suicide! This cannot pass the world by, we must show them that, that isn't the only way out,and that it only gets better from there.
there has been news of a new bill that bans the bullying of LGBT kids. this is a serious matter, children and teens have committed suicide because of it.
So many sympathize but cannot do much, take the pledge at itgetsbetterproject.com, to show you care.
