CHICKENS REACH OUT TO THE GAY COMMUNITY IN SUPPORT

Looks like the chicken comes before the egg on gay rights. Chickens from the organization C.L.U.K! (Chickens Love U, 'K!) have reached out in a letter to the Human Rights Campaign in an effort to distance themselves from the anti-gay Chick-Fil-A controversy. In the letter, penned by C.L.U.K. president Henrietta (pictured with her 8 chicks), the group clarifies their position on the controversy.
"C.L.U.K. would like to reach out to the LGBT community at this time of great controversy. It is our belief that all human beings should have the same rights under the law and that all should be treated equally with dignity and respect. The LGBT community has spoken up on their own behalf, but in effect has spoken up on our behalf as well. Because of the efforts of the LGBT community less of the chicken community are being consumed, and we thank you. We stand with our LGBT hens and roosters. STOP EATING US!!!! Cluck."
Strong words indeed. Thank you, Henrietta, for speaking up on behalf of gays and poultry everywhere.

THINKING OF BOYOTTING COMPANIES SUPPORTING GAY RIGHTS? READ THIS...

I didn't write this. It's going around on facebook......


"Yes, please boycott Oreo for their support of Gay Rights. We’ll all appreciate you going on a diet. While you’re at it, please also throw away your iPod, iPhone, and iPad since Apple supports as well. Hopefully you have lots of clothes, because you’ll need to ditch your Levi’s and Nike’s too. Perhaps you bought them at... JC Penney’s or Sears? Sucks you’ll have to take them back…or actually, any...thing you wear from anywhere probably had a gay involved. Flying somewhere soon? Better not be on American, Delta, Southwest, or United…you’ll need a new ticket. Airline wasn’t mentioned? Just be sure your jet isn’t Boeing made. Don’t sleep at Marriott or Hilton (or any of their family brands) because you might catch the gay they support. That morning coffee from Starbucks will have to go as well, go ahead it replace it with a McCafe…oh wait, McDonald’s supports gay rights too. Hmm, do you clean with Tide, Gain, or Bounty? Use Duracell batteries, shave with Gillette, or use Fixodent? Brush with Crest, use Pantene, Scope, Tampax, Venus, or Old Spice products? Those are all gone too, stupid P&G supporting the gays. Damn, you’re using Internet Explorer or Crome to see Facebook and read this status? Download something else, Microsoft and Google show their Pride as well. Ah, but your drinks are safe. Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Budweiser are on your side…if your side is on the right side of history since all three also support Gay Rights. Hopefully, you or your lawyer will never need in-depth research. Both LexisNexis and Westlaw, who together control the market, support Gay Rights. Drive that big, manly, Ford F350? It’s a Friend of Dorothy too, as it’s company Ford and General Motors also support the rights of all. So, do us all a favor, don’t take it all out on a festive cookie…just stay home and boycott everything." (Share if you like, do research if you don't)"

AMAZING VIDEO: THE GAY RIGHTS MOVEMENT - 2nd CLASS CITIZENS

I am in tears from watching this video. So important and inspiring and sad. The history of the gay rights movement dates back as far as the 60s when so many social changes were occurring. We are still fighting to be equal to all other citizens. Not better, just equal. Watch this video and see how far we've come and how far we have to go to see real change. It is something that touches all of our lives, whether we know it or not, and until we are all equal, our country will continue to decline and be divided. Watch and learn and please pass it on. This video is part of a kickstarter program to produce a documentary about the gay rights movement called Second Class Citizens. If you would like to donate, please click HERE. Don't be on the wrong side of history.
