So Bush has decided to endorse and anti-gay marriage Constitutional Amendment.
An amendment which will rob people of rights. On a document which has formerly been amended to GIVE rights to women and african-americans.
I'm seeing red, I can't think very clearly.
I'm amazed, affronted, fearful, melancholy, filled with rage, hurt. So full and tumbling with emotions right now. To think that I'll be a second class citizen, in essence, since I'm not *right* in who I love and want to marry.
Who the fucking hell thinks its fair to make federal laws based on RELIGIOUS BELIEFS. In a country in which church and state are SUPPOSEDLY separate.
This isn't fair in the least, and it really hurts me that some people are so engrossed with what they believe that they will target, aim, shoot people who are innocent through that small-minded little barrel of a gun they choose to look through.
I can't talk to anyone here about it. With the small-minded white southern Baptist majority (entirety) of Wake, I'm likely to be denounced as a witch and burned at the stake. Or worse, they'll tell me I'm going to hell. Ha.
Im so full of emotions, turmoil, I want to burst out crying, so forgive the emotional post. Forgive, but don't ignore. THIS is what you're doing to people with your religious beliefs.
When you tell us that we can't have the same rights as everyone else and pat yourself on the back for doing such a "good" thing... please take a second and think of all the lives you're ruining. And for what?
