"A Little Too Ironic...And Ya I Really Do Think?"
Today, I received a Jury Duty Questionare to fill out, once again. What will it take for these people to just leave me the hell alone??? I don't want to serve on a jury duty. I don't want to be shoved in a room forced to sit with strangers who i probably have nothing in common with. Much less, knowing my luck.,..I will be seated next to an angry vengeful republican who's idol is President Brush. The main man who will stop at nothing to strip me, a gay american male, completely of my civil rights and would like to see nothing more than my fat ass transported to some deserted island where I will be forced to live out the remaining days of my life.
What could I do to get a valid point across to my fascist state of virginia? What could i do to be heard by someone, get my point across, cause a stir of controversy in my little home town AND still stay within the realm of the law? I pondered.....I thought....I asked for advice from mark. Of course, he simply suggests to fill out the questionaire and let "sleeping dog's lie." This is where my husband and I differ. I can't JUST stand by and be taken advantage of. Matter of factly...I WON'T allow myself to be taken advantage of and "Just Go With The Flow". Love ya handsome....but it just isn't my style.
So....I filled out that Jury Duty Questionaire. I applied the 37 cent stamp to the front of the envelope. I wasn't going to break the law. I even completed it in the 10 day time period I was given. But....I ALSO attached a letter with that Jury Duty Questionaire and it reads as followed.
"I am a homosexual male living in the State Of Virginia. As of July, the law was passed that my husband and I can not even have a legal contract drawn up to allow one another to be executives of one another's estate OR be permited to execute one another's final dying wishes. Any contract that is drawn up between such party's is therefore considered to be illegal and Void. All of MY civil rights have been basically taken away from myself and my partner. We aren't even allowed to serve our country in the military, well, we can if we "Don't tell Of Course", BUT I am allowed to serve on a JURY? I find it ironic of sorts, that you, the state of virginia.....now NEED me!!! "
How I wish I were there in the local county court building when that letter is read.
