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?
Have you ever met any celebrities? Any interesting stories?

i once met margaret cho at the millennium march. i went to DC to visit a friend and well, to go to the march and didn't really expect to meet anyone, but tada! i don't remember how i met up with this group of asian queers (i think someone there was a friend of a friend) and have a picture of us and margaret. i think we all got this crazy idea to run behind the stage after she gave her speech and kind of mobbed her. heehee!
ooh that was a fun weekend. i made the last minute decision to go to this big concert and i'm so glad i did--i saw the pet shop boys! w00t! *sigh* i miss those days. the heady days of post-coming-out (which i only did like three years before), of living in boystown, going out dancing on a more-than-regular basis...when i loved dance music so much i listened to it nonstop (along with petula clark! hahahahahaha *sniff*)...anyways. i totally digress. good times, good times.
hrmph. i wonder where that picture is. i hope i have the file somewhere...
OMG!!!! we made it onto margaretcho.com!!!! i'm seriously welling up! i didn't think that picture got anywhere.
bah it's a shame the picture is so small! but at least you can tell i'm there right next to margaret herself! (the banner says "queer asian world domination league" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha)
I believe in ecstasy
The times weve had, you and meFriends weve met along the way
Partied every night and dayAnd I know well meet again
