You know...it's so weird....
I've been discriminated for being gay four times in the past three weeks at work. And I spent all night last night at my work...handing away free coffees...another widespread talk.
And I kept looking at all the people celebrating and giving us baristas news about the election....and it was such a thrill to hear about Obama....
And then I kept thinking to myself, what about Prop 8? And funny thing, no one ever brought it up in that store. An occasional few people told me they voted no, my regulars. It was a good feeling.
And here I am, sore as all hell....drained with all this election shit. Just because I was doing a good deed for my community...
Only to know that they said yes on Prop 8.
Now I'm kinda....speechless. I guess this is the first time I ever really realized that politics can change my life. And now I'm permanently discriminated....
Hmm....and I even voted.....for the first time ever I was concerned for this society. I guess I am changing as the years go on.
