FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT’S HOLY, TAKE MY MONEY!!!
So true… Some of this is true for the entire LGBT community, but all of it is incredibly important. Let’s all be supportive of one another. <3
It still shocks (and mostly just disappoints) me how SHOCKED people are when I tell them that it is 100% legal to be fired simply for being gay.
They look at me like I’m lying and say things like “nooooo, that can’t be right?”.
I have been fired twice (in Ohio) for being openly gay.
I have been asked:
- to not wear my wedding ring
- Not acknowledge my wife’s existence
- To “just say you have a husband”
- To just not answer “yes” when people ask if I’m married because “you’re not REALLY married”
- To not bring my wife to the company FAMILY Christmas party
- Let people just assume we’re sisters
- Just make it easier on everyone and “just say you’re divorced”
These were not requests made from some Mom and Pop shop, I was a corporate executive for a large chain of high volume restaurants. My boss was the Director of Human Resources, and she would walk into my office and say the most ignorant things you can imagine.
People in America need to be educated on the reality that is life as a gay person in this country.
It’s not all gay pride parades and appletinis.
We need a leg to stand on.
We need people to wake up and educate themselves on the rights we are denied.
We need people…gay, straight, and in between, to open their eyes, stop ignoring what doesn’t directly effect them, and educate themselves.
Absolutely.
Maybe it should be homework time, or cleaning time, or even “eat something that doesn’t come from Bennigan’s” time, but no.
It’s Sims time.
Sims are not people. They’re better than people. They listen to what I tell them and do it the first time, without question, and their lives are better for…
Plus, SHINee Sims. Just saying. ;)
Actually right now I’m working on a house full of girls and trying to make it into a brothel, a la Copper. I really wish there was a hack to do this properly…right now I’m the only one paying my ladies for their hard work. >.>

Oh, wise Sims, do you know how your creator agonizes over your every detail? You must, because you seem to know that I only want to make your lives better.
Except for when I want to kill you, and even then you follow my every order. I love you so much more than human beings.
