I'd love to be equal
my heart melted as i listened to keith olbermann, who said this about the recent passage of prop 8 in my not-so-fair home state of california:
i don't know who he is, but he is articulating everything--everything--that i'm feeling now.
it pains me to think that people i know and love voted for this proposition. astonishingly, i even know someone who went to a rally supporting it. perhaps what's just as bad is that i'm not necessarily surprised that they voted this way. i grew up in a very churchy environment, where living christian ideals is paramount. and for the most part, i don't find anything wrong with that.
until it makes people stop being humans and machines of bigotry and preconceived notions and fear. marriage stopped being sacred or sanctified the first time someone commited adultery. or got a divorce.
you can say that gay marriage is wrong or against nature, but who are you to judge that? just let me live my life and love who i want, and be married to who i want. just because chaddy and i can get married doesn't mean that your marriage is any less special or diluted.
i went to the protest march in san francisco, and i plan on going to the rally this weekend. as i said before, people who voted yes on 8, you should be ashamed of yourselves. why do you, who have nothing to lose, take something away from us?
