What's worse about Amendment 2 is that it literally forces people to get married, too, if they want any partner's rights. All Florida thought about was the fact that they don't want no gays hitchin', but they never stopped to think how it also affects heterosexual partnerships, too. Unfortunately, I believe this was just what the bigots were waiting for, and they didn't need to do any research, because they knew how they were going to vote no matter what.
Bah.

In other news, Florida was an Obama state! What the heck?! I mean, come on, people, you're confusing us!

In other, other news, YAAAY PRESIDENT OBAMA. You know, I may actually WATCH presidential speeches now that he's going to be giving them. What an awesome guy.

Yeah, apparently elderly folks living together but not married because they still get benefits from deceased spouses would have to get married to get anything and then would lose those other benefits. Augh. I am quite saddened by the bigotry around here.

And yeah being blue was great. I mean after 2004, when I voted and nothing came of it, it feels so awesome.

His speech last night was great, I look forward to many more. =)
