I've always been a Queer Nationalist. I know that the LGBT community has been gaining recognition around the world and that equality movements have been gaining steam, but there have also been set backs.
I feel as though there is still a LONG way to go and even though I don't think that a Queer State would be a long-term fix, that it would alleviate many short-/mid-term problems faced by countless around the world. I'm not saying that people should give up fighting bigotry and discrimination all around the world, but I feel as though there should definitely be a safe-haven for those in nations that don't even have the right to live and love.
It could serve as a model/experiment that the world could watch. It could serve as a window into an LGBT world and how "God" would treat us. On the contrary, I feel as though "God" would bless a nation that was inclusive and raised the bar on openness and inclusiveness. If "God" is love, God would love our love towards our fellow wo-/man. It could be a base for spreading the true message of "love" that could be exported to nations around the world by their own people. It could be the template other communities, not only LBGT ones, could use to foster a new level of integration.
Therefore, I've started a blog. Why not, right? Please visit and contribute to my thoughts.

Woo! I'm excited you are starting a blog about this. The world needs more discussions that not only stand up for human rights, but also offer solutions. Can't wait to hear more! :-) Love you guys!
Thanks, Kimberlina. I know that I'm always talking about issues that I feel should be addressed and never taking any concrete action about it. I want to change that. I don't know what to do exactly, but I hope to learn along the way. Thanks for the encouragement!
