I'm tired. I'm tired of being tired. My health is going on me fast. It's been so long since I've posted anything here. I'm diabetic. It started out that I controlled it by diet. I lost 20 lbs and my numbers went down then it was 1 pill with diet that lasted a year, then 2 pills with diet. Then my Dad almost died twice in a six month period and my the medicine I was using was banned or black balled by the FDA so I've been hoping medicines and my blood sugar has gone up and up. My doctor thought it was stress and didn't worry about too much but to make a long story short, Tuesday I'll probably be told that I have to take insulin which I think will be the death of me.
But the main point of this is that I have been communicating with someone online from California. We were both Obama supporters and against Prop 8. I assumed it would pass. I donated 50 bucks just to do it. So I was shocked Wednesday when I heard it passed. I was even more shocked when I heard that 71% of Black woman voted for it. So I get an email from my friend who pretty much cussed me out and said that he wished that he'd never voted for Obama if he'd known that "The Blacks" wouldn't support him. What do you say to that? I thought it was a friend who is a little melodramatic until I read the following. As I've always thought. There would be a time I would have to choose. Black or Gay.

Geoffrey, a student at UCLA and regular Rod 2.0 reader, joined the massive protest outside the Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Westwood. Geoffrey was called the n-word at least twice. It was like being at a klan rally except the klansmen were wearing Abercrombie polos and Birkenstocks. YOU NIGGER, one man shouted at men. If your people want to call me a FAGGOT, I will call you a nigger. Someone else said same thing to me on the next block near the temple...me and my friend were walking, he is also gay but Korean, and a young WeHo clone said after last night the niggers better not come to West Hollywood if they knew what was BEST for them. Los Angeles resident and Rod 2.0 reader A. Ronald says he and his boyfriend, who are both black, were carrying NO ON PROP 8 signs and still subjected to racial abuse.
Three older men accosted my friend and shouted, "Black people did this, I hope you people are happy!" A young lesbian couple with mohawks and Obama buttons joined the shouting and said there were "very disappointed with black people" and "how could we" after the Obama victory. This was stupid for them to single us out because we were carrying those blue NO ON PROP 8 signs! I pointed that out and the one of the older men said it didn't matter because "most black people hated gays" and he was "wrong" to think we had compassion. That was the most insulting thing I had ever heard. I guess he never thought we were gay.
Then I found out today that my Mom may have heart problems. Too stressed for words right now. Just wanted to vent.
