I have watched a movie, (And Bonus Features)
I have check LA times.... with almost 33% of precincts reporting 53% feel that I am not worthy of equality. I feel devestated.
Until now, I was so proud of my state for taking the next step in granting me equality with my fellow citizens. I couldn't believe it when I read the supreme court ruling, what seems like an eternity ago. And then when I legally married the man I love most in the world, just over a year after we were joined in a holy union in God's eyes, I was profoundly moved by being legally wed.
Part of me wants to curse the supreme court for giving me that brief taste of equality, because I now demand nothing less, even though it is likely to have been taken from me.
But a larger part of me is so happy that for a brief moment I was an equal. And that feeling will continue to burn inside me, and inside so many Californians -- that someday, somehow we will reach marriage equality for all with in this state and yes, maybe with in the whole United States.
At the moment, I am deeply hurt by the attitudes of my fellow Californians. I am furious at the lies that were told.
Do you know what if feels like when 2, 434,787 voters tell you you are worthless? Can you conceive of that many people filled with hate and fear of people who just want to live in peace and have the same rights and responsibilities as their neighbors?
How does one go on?
