Homophobia:
The fear that gay men are going to treat you the way you treat women and that a lesbian will treat your woman better than you do.

Omg….who are you?
Time has brought your heart to me.
I have loved you for a thousand years,
and I will love you for a thousand more.
Christine Perri’s “A Thousand Years”
Ummm… My tattoos, as un-Jewish as that sounds. I love how ALL my tattoos are like an extension of my self, and they’re a form of self expression. All my tattoos have a story behind them.
My father. He has never been there for me when I needed them, and he has consistently emotionally abused me.
While walking in the Mission yesterday, I came across this poster inside Good Vibes, with links added for your convenience:
ANTI-GAY COMPANIES TO BOYCOTT
(Let’s show them that hate doesn’t pay)
- Salvation Army (“practicing homosexuals” are not welcome to work here. Nuff said, don’t support them.) Instead, give your junk to Community Thrift on Valencia & 17th so that you can pick which org. you want the money to go to.
- Gold’s Gym! (owner and CEO gave millions to American Crossroads, a political organization run by Karl Rove that funds many anti-gay politicians)
- Domino’s Pizza (founder Tom Monaghan is a co-founder of the Thomas More Law Center, which advocates in court to restrict access to domestic partner benefits. He also financed a ballot proposal to remove sexual orientation from the non-discrimination ordinance in MI.)
- Cracker Barrel Restaurants (fired 17 people for being “inconsistent with…normal heterosexual values”)
- A1 Self-Storage (owner Terry Caster is the 2nd largest individual contributor to the infamous Prop 8 campaign)
- Cinemark/Century Theaters (CEO gave $10,000 to prop 8)
I was really glad to see The Salvation Army listed first. They’ve long been getting lots of heat for being anti-gay, but The Salvation Army is a sinister organization for many more reasons than that—and I speak from personal experience.

Everyone, you know what to do.
