how can this be?
Early Wednesday morning, as i unfolded the newspaper from it's tightly bundled coil, the words, "Proposition 2 Has Passed" jumped out and bit me on the nose like a snake. All I felt like I could do was run outside and cry. Now as I'm sitting here wondering why I didn't speak up earlier, my only excuse is that I didn't expect Proposition two to actually pass. I don't understand how so many people found enough hatred in their empty hearts to vote 'yes' on Tuesday.
I can't imagine someone reaching up to press 'yes', I can't imagine what they're thinking in their head. I can't imagine how so many people fell for the "save marraige" propoganda. To me, saving marraige would be making it free for all people. How does constricting marraige "save" it? There must be a mistake.
Personally, I've always seen marraige as a celebration of love. And even if the two people are of the same sex, love still exists, right? That's at least what I thought. As I read through the article, my favorite quote ventured into my bewildered head. John Lennon once said, "Love is all you need." So to all of you who voted 'yes' (and there are many of you, obviously), please think of this quote for at least one silent moment. If everyone would just fill their heart with love, I know the world would be a better place. Or maybe we'll just make Texas a better place for now.
If one man is equal, can't two men be equal, too!?
