There's a place in my mind, things are open wide.
And the last of innocence makes me so wrong instead of right. It's part of becoming accustomed to my body.

Just got out of the shower. Blasting Osker, spiking my hair. Smelling really good. Getting ready to chill with a friend.

This has been my life in the tipsy turvy year of Oh Fo. Well, it's hardly been tipsy turvy, everything has gone as smoothly as humanly possibly. It's been extremely enjoyable. I'm off probation now. Tony's back in town. As is Brandon. Nikoloz is still here, which is cool.

So, let's just sit here in a moment of silence to the enjoyment thus far, that has been 2oo4.

Okay, after that. To something more important than my happiness.

There are more than 1,000 federal protections and responsibilities denied to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender families because they cannot legally marry in this country. Here are just a few:

ability to make decisions on a partner's behalf in a medical emergency.
petition for partner to immigrate.
up to 12 weeks leave from work to care for a seriously ill partner or parent of a partner.
parenting responsibilities of children brought into a family through birth, adoption, surrogacy or other means.
ability to purchase continued health coverage for a domestic partner after the loss of a job.
All American families deserve the same protections.

Sorry if this post bothers, offends you. It's just something I truly believe in. Have a great day.
