its about VALUES!!!!?????? what the hell?
First, I would like to thank Lizzie for her valiant aid in helping me to be able to vote, which I was able to do. Second I would like to thank Tanya at the king count voter bureau for pulling some strings an helping me to vote, and third I would like the thank betty at the polling station for the 2nd district in Helena Montana for helping me to vote, you all are wonderful and have my utmost gratitude.
Next I would like to address the issue of gay marriage. I did my best, I got radio spots against Montana’s initiative a bunch of radio play on 88.5, I passed out anti ci-86 pamphlets, and I talked with anyone who would listen about how wrong it was. Yet, for my part, I seem to have failed, along with others like me in 9 or ten other states. It hurts me quite a bit. Especially that whenever it came on the TV in the lounge where I was watching the elections, the ignorant morons sitting around me would start calling Kerry a faggot and making gay jokes. After asking them to knock it off a couple of times I finally had to leave. I felt like puking. I’m writing a letter to the president of the college tomorrow. Aren’t republican Catholics great?
Do not loose heart, we have only lost in states where ignorance, intolerance and hatred prevails, there are many areas where this is not the case, and these areas have yet to be sounded out, for their opinions. All I can feel is pity, pity for those so ruined by the people round them that all they know is hate. If I am to be better than that, all I can do is to forgive, and to keep on working for equality, I keep on asking myself, what am I doing? How am I standing up for what I believe? The answer that keeps coming back to me is, not enough...
Goodnight, I have lost strength, but not faith, truth always wins out over ignorance, good always prevails over evil, and in the end, life will be, as it should, freedom for all, even if it may not seem like that now.
