3 days since we all voted. I'm already sick of being under attack. My life has been taken from its original postion in my body and placed in a pool with all the rest. I am no longer lonna who happens to be dating a girl. It is all I am. What goes on in the bedroom is all anyone can see. "Yes, we're okay with you so long as you dont do anything gay, dont want any treat ment similar to a heterosexual relationship, so long as you dont have expectations of being like everyone else. So long asd you never want to get married. I dont ever want you to think that I dont like you even though I am anti gay marriage and anti everything about you. Even though I assume you have this 'agenda' to take over the world." I'm sick of it.
I don't care if you voted for bush, I dont care if your beliefs are more aligned with his than any other canidate. I never asked anyone to vote for kerry, I never asked anyone WHO they were voting for. I did my part for myself and voted for kerry. I am shocked at how many people DID vote for bush but I respect the fact that people voted how they felt the should vote. I dont understand what I threaten and I don't understand how people can say I can't love the same as a heterosexual and how people can say that m y relationship is less than anothers. I would say that our relationship is one of the strongest of everyone I know. We are coming up on 4 years in december. And we have been from highs to lows with out much of anything tripping us up. I had to tell my parents about our relationship and she was there, she has had to deal with her dad and we have managed and come out stronger for it. We walk down the street and are yelled rediculous things at us and we continue to walk, no less proudly than when we set out for our walk. Saddened , yes. but no less strong. What does it take, when will that stop. Will it? Is it until we are irradicated? until so many people force themselves back into closets for you people, when we can look at the streets and say "see I told you they would go away if we scared them bad enough" I dont think so, I am not going away, I am not gonna be looked down upon by any of you, I dont look down on you because you are christian or muslim or morman or any religion. So what gives you the right to look down on me? Its about respect. I dont have to take it.
I would love to be able to pick up and go see some other places in this world, including canada. I would go tomorrow if I had the resources at my disposal, and it wouldn't be because bush is president and it wouldn't be because of republicans, it owuld be becasue of what I have seen in the past 3 days. the disrespect, the value judging and all the hate and ignorance not just toward gays but between everyone who was on opposite sides. It's really dissapointing.
