Please shoot me...

I can't say I'm surprised because I'm not.  I am very aware of the amount of people in our country who truly believe Bush is the best man for the job.  I know I didn't like John Kerry much, but at least he didn't try to pass a constitutional ammendment to take away my rights.  When Lauren told me the news I cried, I felt like such a loser but I cried.  Last night I was in the mood from hell because I was so afraid.  I try to believe it's going to be ok, but when 7 states (maybe more?) voted to ban gay marriage and North Dakota went as far as to say that there should be no union granting them equal rights to those of straight-married couples I can't help but feel discouraged.  I don't understand, I just don't understand.  Why do people think it's so wrong to love?  When you're little they teach you all about how important it is to love and love makes the world go round but they never bother to tell you it's only ok if you love the right person.... I just want to be able to see her in the hospital God forbid something ever happens, that's really all I want, maybe a little shared health care?

Lauren I love you with all my heart.
