But for the record...

If California passes Proposition 8, I'm just going to be disgusted. And I think it's damn time we had a U.S. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT to treat everyone the same in respect to unions of marriage - civil or otherwise.

I am NOT a second-class citizen.
And I won't act like one.
Even if I never want to get married again - to a male or female.
It just ain't right.

But it is MY RIGHT if I choose to do so.


Edit:
My question is this: Why do people fear allowing gays to marry? It can't just be religion - they break enough of those 'laws' on a regular basis as it is. What is the psychological fear in the heterosexual community that causes them to repeatedly squash our rights on the basis of our homosexuality? Why are we the last "safe" target? What are they really afraid of?

I want to figure this out. And I want to participate in future efforts to resolve this issue. If we can elect an African-American as President, we can damn well put this shit to bed, dont'cha think?

Because if we can't, I'm leaving once they're all on their own - all FOUR of my DEMOCRATIC voters. This crap has caused me enough grief. From growing up around people who said I'd go to hell because of who I was attracted to, to the judgmental assholes who shaped my psychopathology. And who the hell needs a country that treats you like this? Who the hell WANTS to live in a country that treats you like this?

I don't.

And I won't, if things don't change. I'm sick to death of being treated like I'm defective because of the people I care about - the people I'm sexually attracted to - who happen to be of the same sex. What, and seriously - what?!? - makes white heterosexuals (and a handful of hispanics, per the polls) think they have ANY RIGHT to determine how I live my life if it isn't chapping their hide?
