I never guessed I would be as hurt and as angry as I am right now. I just figured I would shrug it off and continue on. Not the case. When I heard the news people say "measure 36 passed" I stopped what I was doing and thought about it for a while. I thought about myself and every other person out there who just had every RIGHT they once had to marry the person they LOVE taken from them by people who don't even know them and in NO WAY would ever be affected by them! I thought about the families that are out there that just had that dream they had that they could truly be a family taken from them once again by people who don't know them and in no way would be affected by them.
I guess what makes me mad on this subject is the fact that in America (the land of the FREE?) that my rights to marry the person I love would even be a question.
This all just makes me sad. I never thought that if this passed I would be setting here typing this and feeling hurt by my country, discriminated by the state I call home, and mad at myself for not doing more to stand up for my rights.
I only have one thing left to say and it goes out to every person who voted yes on 36 and that is I hope your happy! I hope your proud that you checked the YES box and I hope that when you go to sleep tonight and you lay down next to the person you love you think for one second about how you would feel if you didn't have that right and how good you feel for taking that right away from millions of people!
*in nazi Germany people HAD their rights taken from them for reasons beyond their control, In nazi America people HAVE their rights taken from them for reasons beyond their control.*
