Gay Marriage in the USA--part 2

The most important thing for gay rights supporters, I believe, is that the Supreme Court did vote in favour of gay marriage.  It's a done deal.  If there's going to be some opposition and negative feelings, it's nothing that we haven't seen here in Canada....  And the laws are on the side of the gay supporters.

Have been writing in my first blog--Waterlily Story--about a movie which I believe the police are going to make soon....  This movie--as has been discussed but not yet confirmed behind the scenes--has a potential to do a lot of good in reducing prejudice and bad feelings against gays and gay marriage.  I believe that.  Of course, the proof is in the pudding!  Right?  But for the sake of argument, if the police don't do a good job with the movie there's always a chance of someone else doing another movie....  We're not limited by one, single film!  [And I'm sorry to express doubts at this time....  It's not that I want to be negative.]  Nobody has specifically asked for my help with the film and they haven't given me any details, so I don't know for sure what's going on except that a certain police group is in charge of it....  And I think I'm satisfied to wait for these police to take the lead....  Have said so elsewhere....

If some of my firefighter friends from the police project are still hoping for me to continue my writing to California, I'm sorry that I'll have to disappoint them.  That's my decision.  I don't believe there's much value in me continuing my confidential writing....  I believe the movie would be a lot more helpful....  [I can't compare to that, I don't believe!!!]

Have also expressed in more than one place that the police--among themselves--and the firefighters have been competing a lot, in the police project....  And I've told my California contacts, which I believe includes firefighters, that it's going to be time for the parties to cooperate with each other and to share their information among themselves....  The competition served a place for a while but it seems that time is over, if they ever want to get something more accomplished from here....  And I believe justice and fairness will prevail, one way or another!  It may take a little while but that's okay....

NOTE ADDED ON JULY 30:  When I say the police are going to make a movie, I really mean they're going to hire a commercial filmmaker.... They're not going to make the movie, themselves, of course.

Gay Marriage in the USA

If people listen to the news, they've heard the Supreme Court of the United States voted to accept gay marriage across the entire country last Friday.  It's a significant milestone for gays, for sure.  I hope the religious exemptions are going to continue to remain in place, for churches or ministers who wish to opt out of performing ceremonies for conscientious reasons. 

The Chief Justice at the Supreme Court on Friday was accepting the decision but wasn't happy about it.  It was a vote of 5 lawyers out of a total of 9.--A 5-4 decision.  And there have been rumblings of opposition from other places in the USA....  Even in Canada, where gay marriage became legal 10 years ago, there has still been some prejudice against it and against gay couples.... I think some people need to have more knowledge and information about gay issues....

Gay Marriage Accepted in Ireland

Gay marriage was approved in Ireland.  They say it's significant because it's one of the few places, if not the only place, where a national vote was taken.  And also the country has strong Catholic roots.... 

Ireland Voting For or Against Gay Marriage

It seems that a national vote is being taken today in Ireland regarding the legalization of gay marriage.  The country already allows civil partnerships for gays but there are rights which are left out, compared to full marriage.  That's the reason why I, myself, have decided to support gay marriage--with religious exemptions. 

My Contact Information

Have posted a note today in my first blog--Waterlily Story--about some points relating to my contact information.  Any interested people could please see that post.  Thank you.

Support Welcome

If there are Christians, or even other people, who are reading my blog and who are interested in the issues, I'd like to ask them to pray for me and for this business.  There's a lot involved and I could use support, myself; and I'd like to see something resolved successfully for the people whom we're trying to help....  A lot has actually been done already, which I can't explain here, but it would be nice also to tell the story of what's been going on--and it would help to further break down the prejudice among the public in various parts of the world....  Of course, there might be new prejudice as there usually is when someone's trying to do something worthwhile but I believe it would help to tell the story.  And many people have already given their support in the past and they were expecting to see results--something they could see--as in a public story.  One thing some of the parties had in mind was to make a movie through Hollywood.

Would God, or Christians, like to support Hollywood?  The thing is, some Hollywood people have already supported this business and I believe profits have been earned.  The money isn't really an issue, as far as that goes.  [Although it's not me who's dealing with any funds.]  And if there's an opportunity, a movie would reach the most people and it would more or less be based on true facts--a true story.

The police groups have been quite spread out and there has also been competition among them.  We need for the police to come together.  And in the meantime, I've been under quite a lot of stress.  But I'm working diligently at this point to see something happen. 

Michael Jackson--part 2

It seems Michael Jackson wasn't just wearing his one glove in the 1980s.  Have seen a photo of him wearing it in 1992; and have also seen a photo of him wearing it in his 30th anniversary celebration in 2001.--The anniversary concerts were held in New York City and were broadcast on TV a short time later. 


If I'm a person who supports traditional marriage, some people might ask why I'd want to make a public display of supporting, or seeming to support, gay marriage?  And I've said I support gay marriage for the purpose of gay couples getting equivalent-to-married legal benefits.  Also, I don't think it's right for Christians to want to make the practice of homosexuality a crime....  It seems awful to even refer to this subject, at this time, after so much has been accomplished in society.  But some Christians are still in that place...!
