Prop 8 breaks my heart. If a restriction is placed on marriage today, then the precedence is set for placing additional restrictions on marriage in the future. If some fuck dares to tell me I can't marry Matt because our skin color is different, I'll fucking rip his head off even if that's the last goddamn fucking thing I do.
A few weeks ago when my parents visited, I asked them how they felt about Prop 8. Mom kinda smiled and said nothing. Dad said, "Well, I'm an old-fashioned kind of guy."
At that time, I only said, "I respect your beliefs, but I disagree."
I should've said more. Maybe my folks just don't realize the hypocrisy in governing who can or cannot marry. Maybe they just don't realize that my happiness is in jeopardy because the precedence has already been set. I have a feeling that if they could just see gay marriage and interracial marriage as equal, then they would realize how little sense it makes to ban gay marriage.
I remember, a long time ago, someone of my race, who I literally JUST met, asked me, "You're not serious with him (referring to Matt), are you? Tell me you're not serious. You're playing him, right?" I just fucking got up and walked away.
Later on, I related the story to my dad. He shook his head and said, "There'll always be close-minded and ignorant people out there. Don't think too much about it." I wonder if my dad now realizes he's one of the many close-minded and ignorant people?
I equate the passing of Prop 8 to that fuck wad. It's like all of California asking gay people, "You're not serious, right? You're just playing, right?" No, being together for years and years is NOT serious. NOT AT ALL.
Wake up, people. For fucking once, please, use logic and reason to stop your beliefs from interferring with others' rights.
