: About Me

I am thirty-eight years old with a husband I love more than I did the day we were married thirteen years ago (July 29,1995).
We have two beautiful daughters (twelve and almost ten years old), two cats, one puppy, and a bunch of fish. We live in a tree bedroom ranch that costs more than we can afford at the moment. I drive a two door Monte Carlo SS and my husband drives an sharp looking extended cab four wheel drive pick-up truck. Of course, its a Chevrolet. After owning our last Chevrolet pickup truck, we had to invest in another one.
My husband is a supervisor at local steel factory and makes really good money. He worked is way up from a position as a multi-machine operator. I have a lot of respect for him and his determination to provide for his family.
I have attained an associates degree in applied sciences and am currently one class away from my Bachelors Degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Information technology.
I am currently recovering from back surgery due to a ruptured disk I had for a year. I actually had two ruptured disks but the doctors opted to only perform a discectomy on the one. I need a job to pay back my student loans but I still have too much pain in my limbs and lower back.

Society & Lifestyle > Ethnicity & Gender (Other) Are gay rights issues parallel or different from race-related civil rights in the US?

14 of 22

Under United States law homosexuals and lesbians are entitled to act on their sexual orientation without fear of discrimination. They have not had to fight for the right to co-exist within the mainstream public while other racial groups have had an uphill battle in this area. To suggest that gay rights issues are the same as race-related civil rights issues is a gross understatement of what has historically occurred as a result of racial differences. A person's sexual orientation is not easily ascertained unless the person makes a public statement about it, whereas people of a different ra...
