No Pledge of Allegiance Until Gays Have Full Equality !

[Tinyoak2]

Fact of the matter is the laws that are banning gays and lesbians from just about everything ( short of being allowed the breathe the same air we do ) has it's roots in religious morality. I think it's Ironic that the same people who decide who can marry and how we ( as a whole ) are allowed to live are the ones filling the news with scandals about their own morality.My mother always told me when you point a finger at someone, you have 3 pointing back at you.I say live and let live.

[darliegoddess]

Your mom is brilliant.

[darliegoddess]

@chetohimler

The only person on this planet that cares at all who you have sex with is you , trust me. That you could trick some poor woman into it is pretty astounding but then there are no intelligence tests before hand. Oh you have a right to an opinion until you start wishing death on anyone. Then it's hate speech and gets reported.

[wookie72]

I really, really realize that this is off topic, but you are very cute.

[darliegoddess]

@wookie72

Thanks, that never hurts to hear =)

[squeakysneakerdj]

I always say "... with freedom and justice for most."

No one knows fo' sho' what causes transgendered-ness. People are on all different levels about understanding the concepts of sexual/gender relations. It's probably not a good idea to get into 'proving' this or that to people that have been completely insulated from the subject.

We need to work out own 'romans road' for explaining these things to people.

[darliegoddess]

Oh but they do know what causes it. Look up "Plastics Feminize Boys " by the BBC and " The Disappearing Male" by the CBC . There are chemical as well as genetic truths that exist.

[squeakysneakerdj]

I'm not doubting you, but we know queers have been around forever. There are probably 100 different influences on the sexuality of a given baby, and to tell these trolls that "x causes transsexuality" is oversimplification. Life isn't a courtroom. People ignore 'evidence' if it conflicts with their worldview, so as wonderful as it is to slam their asses with science, it doesn't help. It can sometimes even benefit them because now they only have to argue against one thing at a time.

[darliegoddess]

No , you don't understand . These are proven causes, with scientists and studies and everything. Go to google and google those articles. It will explain everything and it is undeniable. Plastics leech synthetic estrogens that interfere with normal hormones, they actually are feminizing fish in the ocean because we have dumped a continent full there. Look up the plastic continent. None of this is an accident.

[GodOfSuperWheat]

Unfortunately, I don't think this will stop. I think there will always be prejudice against anyone who isn't the majority. Depressing but true. I personally applaud this child, and even if his father raised him that way, he raised him right.

[darliegoddess]

Me too. I'm also for parents who recognize that being an individual takes not following the crowd. If he were my son  I would be incredibly proud of him.

[bubba007ss]

A little boy I guess he was raised to believe that and I can't tell if you are a man because of the way you talk so I can see why you believe the way you do

[darliegoddess]

He wasn't raised to believe that at all, his father was completely surprised ,though totally stands behind him as I am sure you wouldn't . It's called being a "good " parent & involves skills most of you homophobes never have . Your nonsensical babbling is indecipherable , illogical & self defeating & reveal more about your own limited intellect than others . I doubt anyone could tell if you are a man either being so sexually insecure. Stick to dog s, the conversation is up to your speed.

[bubba007ss]

So any one who doesn't agree with the gay life style is homophobes? I don't agree with democrats. Does that make me a demophobe?

You said his father was for his decision I guess he heard his father at some time discuss the topic to come up with his answer and besides you weren't their and neither was I. That is just the word of his father and it don't hold any wat

[darliegoddess]

Doesn't agree with a lifestyle ? They were born gay , it's not choice any more than you being attracted to females. It's invisible pheromones actually, seems gay men's brains react in exactly the same way as womens to men. Aren't you lucky being so loved ?

You should watch the interview with the father. Nope , the kid figured it out all on his own. Actually, it's pretty logical. Denying people the same privileges = injustice. Please try the "marry another species" argument, it makes me laugh.

[bubba007ss]

Lets see man has said certain foods was not good for us like eggs for instant and I believe coffee was was amongst the others and a lot of other things that they said they had proven But now we find out that they are good for us. And you say man wrote the Bible, So you tell me you trust mans interpretation of what's write and form whats wrong. You are very wise in believing every wind of doctrine that comes your way.

[darliegoddess]

No bubba , this was real clinical study. And coffee is bad fgr you, it spikes your insulin. Look it up. I trust science WAY more than religion.

[bubba007ss]

I watched a Barbra Walters special and she had this 10 year old boy who wanted to be a girl and some other ones on her program and she made the statement that it has not been proven by science. Did you hear about a scientist from china that gave false information about growing human organs and that they fired him? He was a renown scientist and just a man who wrote something down that everybody believed.

[darliegoddess]

That is an old program. Look up " The Disappearing Male " , the CBC documentary and then google "Plastics Feminize Boys " on google. Not only is it proved but WE caused it.

[bubba007ss]

I don't have time to listen to a bunch of nonsense that men have decided just like you don't have time to listen to a bunch of men who have decided That God exists. It's all a bunch of Nonsense anyhow right? You can't trust it anyhow because men can't be trusted right? So it all boils down to a thing called faith in what you believe ""Right?

[darliegoddess]

Oh no bubba, I've read the entire bible TWICE , unlike you Christians who 80% haven't even read it ONCE ! I made my decisions based on the facts . You don't get off that easy ! No, the men who wrote the bible 2000 years ago can't be trusted. We don't even know who they were. And here is something, why is it we can see UFO's but no one ever sees god ? Hmmmm ? It's been 2000 years right ? Tell me when he shows up ok ?

[bubba007ss]

Nope you are saying you trust the men who came up with these so called facts So that means you take what they say by faith and believe it as facts. When the Scientist said from China that we could grow limbs he had the whole world believing him And everybody said it was a fact and true

[darliegoddess]

Um bubba, science isn't a faith. Oh, and you can grow limbs. Look up:

Pentagon Plan to Regrow Limbs

So now you are wrong about that I'm sure you will be a big grown up boy and watch " The Disappearing Male " , the CBC documentary and then google "Plastics Feminize Boys " on google. Don't be scared, you can still pretend you don't know !

[vicouswolf]

wth are you on about? homosexuality isnt genetic none of my family gay and i am so that out of the window

[darliegoddess]

@vicouswolf

Biological does not equal "inherited" but actually , since you are so confused. A study was done with twins separated at birth and indeed they found that many of the twins who never saw each others lives both turned out gay. So thank you for binging that up. There is indeed a basis for saying homosexuality is genetic.

[vicouswolf]

it isnt genetic or ingerited like i said im gay but no1else in my family gay, u cant choose of who to fall in love with, it has to do with something about their bakgrounds, there school and friends nothing to do with genetic/inherited i dont know where they got that crap about it

[darliegoddess]

IT'S FROM 1991 ! YOU WERE BORN GAY !

nytimes*com/1991/12/17/science­/gay-men-in-twin-study*html?pa­gewanted=1

[darliegoddess]

Now if you come back here and say "I'd not inhereted" I am going top find your house, throw you over my lap and give you the spanking of a lifetime ! I DID NOT SAY IT WAS INHERITED, I DID SAY IT WAS GENETIC ! Duh,geeze people are lazy.

[Murdermagictricks]

who cares? who is that gonna help gay ppl? a yr from now no onew even gonna remember this

[darliegoddess]

It makes a point and I'm not the only one that thinks so. No one should have to make a pledge to country that can't live up to it.

[Boudiga]

This isn't going to stop. Gay and lesbians will be fighting for equal rights until they have it.

[darliegoddess]

Yes they will.

[GlobalHuntMan]

I am fundamentally at odds with the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in all circumstances and not just ones in which gay couples are prohibited from marrying. A promise of blind obedience to the government, which is what the Pledge is, is an element of totalitarian ideology, something that a society must oppose if it genuinely believes in upholding democratic ideals since democracy requires that people be capable of thinking in opposition to authority should it become illegitimate.

[darliegoddess]

Dissent is every American's responsibility . With that in mind I will have no problem pledging allegiance when we have equality. I believe in the right to bare arms, I just think that users should be required to know how to use them.

[darliegoddess]

Time to push back.

[PhilipMonkey]

So a ten year old seems to be starting a movement...and your jumping on his bandwagon? How selfish! Isn't the Pledge suppose to represent and remind us the overall direction we're headed? And did you do the "I found my baseball" retarded clap?

[darliegoddess]

1. Yes, it's a valid stand to take against inequality.

2. Selfish ? You mean like you trying to horde the right to marry ?

3. So then the pledge really means nothing to you , it's just a reminder ? So then it shouldn't matter.

4. No, it was the middle finger up pointing to you.

[ApolloDynamic]

Wait, my mistake. God was added to the pledge in 1954, and then onto money in 1957. Either way, theists are shoving their beliefs onto us way too often.

[ApolloDynamic]

BTW, that was in 1957.

[darliegoddess]

So do I will.

[ApolloDynamic]

Me three.

[christineglamazon]

I'm not going to recite the Pledge of Allegiance until they remove "under God" from there. Mind you I do believe in God(dess), but I believe that a person's spiritual beliefs should not be codified into law, even if it represents the majority of a nation. That is the first step towards a theocracy.

P.S. I think you're hot, too. You're so hot it makes me believe in God. lol

[ApolloDynamic]

Well, people don't usually do that anyway, unless they're starting school in the morning.

[wookie72]

The original pledge was written by a Baptist minister who was also (shock!) a socialist. Ironically, the minister didn't put "Under God" in it.

What is also interesting is that the most consistent dissidents towards saying the Pledge have been the Jehovah's Wtinesses.

[darliegoddess]

@wookie72

I know , it wasn't till 1954 they included "under god".

[spmrs13]

your hot

[darliegoddess]

@spmrs13

What a nice thing to ssay. Thank you !

[Sintwar]

Well, not only that, but they are forcing their imaginary friend down our throats. One nation under god my ass.

[PaperSydney]

You're not the First, but I think it's great to hear you say it. I've not said the Pledge since 1991. I was in 5th grade.

Glad to hear about Chaz, and I think the Rememberence is for the People who're still here. Stay smiling, and remember we all love-ya!

[darliegoddess]

It's funny, I grew up with Chaz's former self on Sonny and Cher and I found myself misgendering him right up till I saw him in person. He is so male now I have totally had it wiped from my mind. It's like another person and he is so happy. You can tell.

[HoustonTxLiLy]

Me too Darlie! I remember Chastity sweet little girl face on sonny and Cher. If I saw him( Chaz) in person (especially if he sounds Male) I know It would probably wipe the girl image out of my mind also.

I sure hope he becomes more public and brings more positive awareness to the trans community.

Thanks for your great videos!

[PaperSydney]

yeah it's really crazy how things can flip once you say HI. He's not a Celeb. He's a Person, and I know how that could feel like a Mistaken thought just like being Transgender.

[darliegoddess]

I don't do drugs , I don't smoke, I rarely drink , a couple glasses of wine. occasionally. It was late , I was pooped .

Explain why you are such a bitter monkey before I block you and delete your waste of time insults.

[ApolloDynamic]

Blockygraphics has no videos available. He just wants to hate on those who do.

[pe1biv]

Indeed, he's just another anonymous hater thinking he's better than us and anyone else.

[darliegoddess]

You know , this is the kind of comment I love. It recognizes booth the good and bad of it . Just know, gay people want the bad as well as the good. You can't have one without the other.

[Jenna08848]

Goddess mmm U mmm errr ahh Like your from Canada,,,you dont do the er ah that umm Pledge,,,but if you do,,,er Umm I uhh umm,,,Ya know I,m a bit Ummm ya know er umm,,Ya thats it exactly,,,,hahaha Jenna

Remember always DoR 11/20/09

[darliegoddess]

Totally eh !

[Jenna08848]

Ummmm yes er ummmm totally babe..

ps block that assface Blockygraphics nasty person,,,

[itspunkieboy]

why do i agree with everything you say? oh yell because you're always right ..5 stars

[ApolloDynamic]

Seriously, why the heck do we even have a pledge? It's kind of like a silly little superstition.

[darliegoddess]

It is important because it is a statement of who we are as a people. A reminder of what made this country so strong . Liberty and justice for all is an incredibly hard road but one we are worthy of I hope. We will always have the McCarthy's , we just need the good people like Edward R. Murrow to stand up to them.

[ApolloDynamic]

When we say, "one nation, under God," what we mean is "one nation, devoted to goodness." That is what America is all about. America is a nation of good people, honest people, friendly people, helpful people. We want to help others have what we have. We should state it as clearly as that—we, as a nation, are people who are dedicated to goodness.

[edward892]

Its a pledge to the flag.....a wartime flag. Its basically mind control for citizens to die for their country. I ain't saying it either.

[pe1biv]

AD, I don't think that is how it is seen by those who think the US is a Christian nation...

And though the fundamentalists will believe that all they do is out of their wish to help other people, all they do is trying to shove down our throats their judgment of our morality compared to theirs and have us submit to their doctrine.

Your statement is very idealistic, but indeed what it SHOULD be. But then, we should leave God out of that..

[ApolloDynamic]

I forgot to mention that I got that from a website called 'Why Won't God Heal Amputees?'. It's a fascinating read.

[IntellectualAmy]

It all reminds me of the line '"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke) . And this very much applies to us as a people. And to use Edward Murrow as an example is very good. The 2005 film: 'Good Night, and Good Luck ' was brilliant. We should use it as our inspiration.

[ApolloDynamic]

Your eyes are all shiny in this video.

[IntellectualAmy]

Hi, Darlie ! Thanks for another great video. I think the November 20th date really does raise our awareness and respect for those whom have fallen due to hate, ignorance and unprovoked violence. The people who commit these heinous crimes against us should NOT go unpunished nor feel they can get away with their actions. This is why I will always rise to the fight and make certain that we can have a decent future for 'our' people!

[darliegoddess]

I agree , it is important !

[theroachyjay]

I want that kid as my attorney!

[darliegoddess]

Me too !

[TigerKerouac]

But it's a pledge to our IDEALS. It would be sad to not recite it. Like the Day of Remembrance it should be a reminder. We treasure and strive towards certain ideals as Americans. If we don't hold those up as a standard I think we'll find people will stop knowing what America is all about.

And I say as this as a very Liberal transgendered person. Conservatives seem to now hate the things I have always treasured about America. It's up to Liberals to define patriotism and defend this land.

[darliegoddess]

@TigerKerouac To me it is sad to recite it when people vwe love are denied the right to have the same rights as anyone else. I have friends and it tears me up to see them treated like their love is less than anyone elses. . No one had the right to take that from them.

[darliegoddess]

We must do more than hold up a standard , we must live up to it. We take this journey together , no one is left behind.

[ApolloDynamic]

LOL! Did you notice how you still introduce yourself even after you have the opening?

I don't even say the stupid part of the pledge about the big bully known as Yahweh.

1:55 LOL! Darlie, you don't even go to school anymore, you don't HAVE to anymore!

[gitterfritter]

That kid is wise beyond his years. I was worried about how many Ice pops I could eat per day back then.

[darliegoddess]

Lol, me too ! I was shocked by how sincere and honest he was. He totally choked me up with his sincerity.

[Eopyk]

RIP all wwho have died for being themselves.

All love from me Jasmine

[darliegoddess]

Thank you Jasmine . We owe them justice.

[tetsubo57]

Everyday that the LGBTQ community stands up and won't be silenced is a day to celebrate.

Screw the bigots.

[IntellectualAmy]

Tetsubo57 - I'm standing beside you on that one.

[darliegoddess]

Everyday tetsubo !

[Laturales]

I saw that kid that wouldn't pledge, that was ultra cute.
