“They serve…we support” a very bold statement made by The Patriot Project Founder, Tim Novelli D.C.

The Patriot Project is a grassroots movement that was started to provide chiropractic care to all active duty military, their family, wounded warriors and their Gold Star dependents.

The past two years have been rough on my wife and I. Stuck with a Republican governor and homophobic V.A. employees have not made things easier for us. Sharon is fighting the V.A. and I am struggling to get a job because I have constantly been sick.

...more after the orange french curve...

This is Pink's song Dear Mr. President. It was meant for Bush. When I listened to it the other day I realized a lot of the lyrics fit Mitt Romney too. I hope you enjoy.

PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is defined as a severe psychological disorder that is caused by exposure to any event that is extremely sensitive or traumatic. PTSD is real and if you know someone or are someone who has PTSD you know that it can be frightening.

Anyone can develop the disorder and the people who have it need support from everyone around them. My fiancee is a veteran who suffers severe PTSD. I've seen what it does to her both while she is sleeping and awake.

Hatred. Why does it exist and how can it be stopped? There are all kinds of reasons for hatred. I can list all the examples of hatred and the types of people who hate on others but one word labels it all: bigotry!

Bigots are prejudiced people who are intolerant of any opinion but their own. Their intolerance can also be expanded to others religion, race, political views, class, sexuality, gender and profession.

We have been living in the same apartment complex for three years. In those three years we have had four different management companies. So far the fourth management company has been the worst. The management company here has shown no respect and has a diversity policy thats a joke. Its as bare bones as it could be considering the huge size of the company.

My name is Syd and I'm new to Daily Kos as a diarist but not new to Progressive politics or causes. I organized a successful rally against SB5 in Ohio about a year and a half ago. I'm proud and happy that very wrong headed idea of Governor Kasich failed.

I am also the fiancee of a transgender Vietnam veteran in East Central Ohio. From experience I can tell you that there is very few LGBT friendly communities here and VA Region 10 Administration does not teach or enforce diversity to their employees and the state of Ohio has a great population of bigots. Ohio is a very beautiful state but the people are not so much. I am not saying all of the state is bad because it is not but it would be nice to see some change in the smaller cities and rural areas. WE CANNOT CHANGE THE LGBT COMMUNITY BUT WE CAN CHANGE THE MINDS OF BIGOTS!

My fiancee and I have been together for a wonderful four years but those four years have been a huge eye opener for me. Looking back now I realize that I pick up on signs of harassment I may not have noticed before. Not because I was closed minded but because I never realized how hateful people can be to an LGBT person without even saying a word.
