apocalypsos... because it's a disgusting thing to do. (What's being proposed, not what ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crimsonspin's very cool daughter and her friends are going to do.)

My quite straight daughter and her friends, however, are wearing all the rainbow ribbons and shirts etc. they can to show their support for National Gay Day--the right of individuality.
Things like this and that stupid Minnesota almost-law where doctors can go "Sorry, I don't treat gay people" or "Sorry, I don't treat [insert religion here]" just piss me right the fuck off. What the hell is wrong with people? Is being accepting and respectful really that fucking difficult? *seethes*
And on a personal note, that Minnesota almost-law scares me a little. I mean, I have a goddamn pentacle tattooed on my shoulder. It's really nice to know that if it passes and I ever get brought into an emergency room there unconscious for some reason, and while I'm out of it, some belligerent doctor gets the wrong idea when he sees it and says, "I'm not treating her, she's a Satanist," that'll be okay.
Well, if anybody's looking for where Hippocrates is buried, look for the epicenter of the next earthquake, dig six feet down, and make sure not to touch the rotisserie you find in the hole. Jesus.
EDIT: Ooops, that should be Michigan. And I guess that doesn't count for emergency care, but it shouldn't count for any care, damn it.
