Why doesn't someone just.....

Hire me!! I know I am very fortunate to have a job. There are millions out there who do not have jobs. So I am thankful I do have one, really. I would just like to move my job to a state that is more respectful of our lives.

There have been a couple of things over the past month that have made it very obvious that this state is one we should leave when the opportunity arises. (Thus the reason I am trying to find the opportunity.)

My school district pulled K's health insurance. No warning, just dropped her. I was paying the premiums, not them. But since they do not recognize same-sex partners she is not allowed to stay on my health insurance.

Then, there is the case of the moronic mother who allowed her son to be starved. This has nothing to do with us. Neither of us is involved in the case in any way. However, the woman happens to be a lesbian. Better yet, a lesbian who cheats on her girlfriend with a guy. The residents of this great area are tearing her apart online, not because she is a dumbass mom, but because she is a lesbian. What is worse is that they are making comments about lesbians in general. They should not be allowed to live, that all lesbians sleep with men to get pregnant, all the normal and abnormal crap they love to scream about and against the GLBT community.

This community is intolerant, unaccepting, and downright IGNORANT.

I have had an interview with the Des Moines Community School District and can only hope something pops up soon. If nothing comes up by the end of next week we are going to have to face the fact that we are here for the next 2 years.
