I just want to throw this out there that I am not angry. Do not confuse my passion for anger. I will not lie and say that this situation of inequality does not infuriate me to no end, but I am not an angry person.
I just want to see people finally understand what is is like to walk down the street, into stores and out of churches and be judged like we have to on a daily basis. When are the religious bigots going to realize that we just want to be able to live out what their Holy Bible says in 1 John? ("A man who says he loves God, but hates his brother does not love God and is a liar." "Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.")
It is time for change and not for anger. It is a time for love, not hate.
Go out and start the protest with some fire but in sincere, unconditional love.
Yours Freely,
Tennessee James

one
this is the first one.
this is the one where i will tell you that i am tired. i am tired and i am even more tired of this. my passion is to bring about change and now i am going to make it happen.
it is time to stop talking about change and start making it happen. it is time.
my name is Tennessee James and i am now saying it is time for change. i dont want the future generations to look back at our generation and say that we did nothing for the progress of equality here in america. we need to stop talking about the stonewall riots of 1969 and start talking about the movements of 2008. what are we doing now...today to provoke change?
i am ready for my people and my generation to stop talking about it, stop blogging about it, stop dreaming about it, and do something about it.
how do you expect them to take us seriously when we dont take ourselves seriously?
it is time for change and it is time for us to start the movement.
let them be able to study us in their history books and say that we accomplished something. let them be able to say that they wished they had been there to see it or be apart of it.
and my side note to VH is that you should have kept your mouth shut, because now you started something and it wont stop with just me. this passion and fire is contagious and now is the time that real change is about to happen. watch out folks because if your not for us, you are against us, and we arent going to stop marching until this inequality has ended.
we will be the gandhis and dr. kings of our generation. we will promote peaceful protest, but please remember that there will be protest. we will no longer live under this tyranny called fairness and equality. how can you call this fair when we are dying out there just because of who we love? how can this love invoke so much hatred out of you? nevermind that now because change is coming and we wont stop until we succeed.
we will win, or we will die fighting.
this is our life, not just for us but for the future.
now is the time for change.
