This is really a rant, that isn’t connected to what I usually write about (at least not too closely connected), so if that isn’t what your in the mood for, just skip this post. Tomorrow, I’m writing about the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), so I’ll be back on track. The Bakery Square complex is starting to come to life, especially now that the hotel and the Urban Active gym are both open. I was[Read More…]
For me, this issue is far bigger than Minnesota politics. This “socialism” verbiage is common GOP-talk at every level of government. And, here in Pennsylvania, we have a GOP governor candidate who thinks everyone on unemployment wants to sit around and just pick up a check. He claims to find tons of open jobs in a newspaper classified, but fails to see that these pay too low of a wage for the average unemployed to live at the standard their previous job provided. So Thomas Emmer is blaming the waters and waitresses, and Tom Corbett is blaming the unemployed.
Today’s Kylie video is one of my all time favorite Kylie songs, and this concert performance of it from the Showgirls concert really rocks! Â If I’m having a hard day, this is one song on my iPod that I go to, and I’m always smiling and dancing by the end of it.

What’s happening in Lancaster County should be a wake up to anyone living in any location where LGBT rights are protected under a HRC. The LCHRC has existed for many years, but recently there was a petition to add Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression to their protected classes, and two of the commissioners responded with a proposal to eliminate the LCHRC all together. The following is a write up by Bolton Winpenny about[Read More…]
While I have a day job, and I am involved in some organizations, what I write on thomascwaters.com, is strictly my own opinions, positions, and viewpoints. I am not speaking for anyone else or any group. This is my voice.
Campaign materials for Republican Tom Corbett’s gubernatorial campaign were displayed at a booth set up by the attorney general’s government office at a recent county fair in Troy, pa2010.com has learned.
If you are angry about NOM, take that energy and use it to keep candidates NOM supports from gaining a place in office.
“What’s worse,†added Hamer, “is to see a good man like Pastor Micklos, who demonstrates true Christian values in the film, maligned by people who clearly haven’t seen the film or even bothered to read the synopsis. If they had they would know the Pastor never compromises his biblical beliefs; he’s simply trying to demonstrate what Christianity really means through a Christlike response.â€
I’ll never forget his honesty with me- that he didn’t know anything about working with a gay client, but that people are just people. Who knows what his religious views were, because they didn’t matter. They didn’t come into the discussion. He could have been opposed to gay people for all I knew, but he placed my need before his own belief system.
