I'm so sorry it always gets spoiled by some elections where something bad is happening, but that's life. You have a wonderful husband and two wonderful kids, they all adore you, and you adore them! I can't think of anything more important than that! On that note I wish you to always have those wonderful people in your life, maybe even more of them — more of friends and family who finally come to a realization that you're a great guy with a great family to love and adore!<br /><br />And a little update about my life: my boyfriend's adoptive father, Thom, is visiting me in Russia right now. I moved out of my parents' house, and we live in a rental apartment, preparing for Felyx's visit. He's supposed to come to Russia for 3 months this mid December. I'm very excited! Thom is a wonderful person, a wonderful father to my Felyx, and a wonderful future father-in-law for me! We're very hopeful to have a good life together and dedicated to doing everything possible in order to be reunited. We really need people and legislators to support UAFA (Uniting American Families Act) and marriage equality for federal purposes of immigration... We cannot be gay in Russia and live openly like that, we have to fight for that life in the US. Help <b><i>Kevyn</i> & <i>Felyx</i></b> to be happy together — support marital immigration for binational gay couples!<br /><br />-- ♂<i>K♥F</i>♂Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-85941676270029221142010-11-07T06:45:25.127-08:002010-11-07T06:45:25.127-08:00The election results are certainly disappointing, ...The election results are certainly disappointing, and even when people tell us it's OK, this is what everybody expected, every midterm elections the leading party (President's party) loses seats, and we still retained the majority in Senate — this is still bad news. Not because the simple majority is just not enough, but because politics these days is majorly based on fears...<br /><br />It doesn't matter that we still have the majority, it doesn't matter that we didn't loose all that much... what matters is that we lost, didn't gain, and we lost a lot in the House of Representatives, we lost our majority there. Even when Democrats had the supermajority in Senate and a good majority in the House, they didn't do much for us and still played games with Republicans and couldn't get rid of that filibuster rule or couldn't gain enough votes in their own party even. Now things are different: now we have nothing really to hope for... gays are not that important anymore, and we will be sacrificed even more. They're not gonna do anything important for us, or something important for me personally — immigration reform.<br /><br />(to be continued)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-10440790931271258832010-11-04T05:08:50.604-07:002010-11-04T05:08:50.604-07:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYAN

Unfortanitly those republicans elected into state and fedural office tend to be anything but Working Class frendly. As in if your weathly your fine but if you actualy work for a living you better grab your ass and pray that it dose not get blown away. They are not at all Labor friendly or Union frendly no matter how you shine the light on them. Not only that they want to undo the health care bill,and wallstreet reform. <br /><br />It makes me nurvose that they might just drivus right back into the ditch and on out the otherside over the cliff into a depresion before they are finaly told to get the heck out of the car!<br /><br />As someone that was just getting confident enough to be trying to get into the houseing market and buy a place of my own. (should know by thrus afternoon if I'm pre aproved for a home loan) It scares me half to death the extensive amount of damgame they are being given the power to cause again.aNorthWestViewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03598507140332496283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-31341977664663785402010-11-03T23:13:35.081-07:002010-11-03T23:13:35.081-07:00What excited me this election term was that there ...What excited me this election term was that there were openly transgender people running for office. Only one did win, a judge in California, but still it is a win. Which tells me, transgender persons are getting closer to some level of acceptance. After all of the violence that one hears about on a day to day basis against trans people, this was a breath of fresh air.<br /><br />Lovely post, as usual.

We must continue to inform people about LGBT issues. The opposition is certainly informing people to fear and hate us. Only when people see our cause as Human rights and not gay rights will they be inclined to act. <br /><br />Unity is something our community needs to work on. Competing groups, flagrant chiding of anyone who does not measure up, and apathy will get us only stagnation. <br /><br />When we set aside our difference to work for the greater good we can achieve. For goodness sake be humble. A victory is a victory. If we must walk a path where we have to prove every point by example then so be it. In the end we will have equality. It may not be fast but it will be just.<br /><br />Don't bite the hand of the Ally that does not live up to your expectations. Extend understanding and redouble your efforts. By all means let them know where they have failed you but don't abuse them. Educate!<br /><br />In patience and grace all things can be achieved. For we are all worthy of dignity and equality.Thttp://links-of-love.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-35625712960329357942010-11-03T17:06:02.226-07:002010-11-03T17:06:02.226-07:00As always your blog is right on the moment.

Just want to bring to your attention some of the ads on your page, "google ads" for Governor Elect Deal in GA are a big turn off, these are not ads we should be seeing on a GLBT blog page; it sends a negative message at least to me.Jammannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587902609826926070.post-43876777433662630652010-11-03T15:41:59.063-07:002010-11-03T15:41:59.063-07:00Here's the funny part, it's looking like i...Here's the funny part, it's looking like it's possible for the outgoing governor of Iowa to appoint the replacement judges. Even more amusing, if he wanted to be really spiteful, he might be able to reappoint the exact same three judges who just got removed.<br /><br />In the meantime, I think the gay community needs to up our support for Iowa.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946730371938804257noreply@blogger.com
