you can't run from homophobia

[mango_lassie]

So the Marriage Amendment was passed. I literally screamed when I saw it on the TV. N. gave me a weird look--I'm not sure if she's ok with gay marriage or not because when I explained to her what it was, she asked me if I was upset because it didn't pass. I'll get a straight answer from her at dinner, because in a stupid way, if you can't accept homosexuality, it's hard for me to accept you. Though she doesn't seem like the "ZOMG ITZA SIN!1!1!" type. I hope not, I really do like her.

I can't put how I'm feeling about this in words. Betrayed comes to mind, but that doesn't make much sense, does it? Enraged, frustrated, confused...I don't care if it may or may not effect me, it's the fucking principle. WHY DOES IT MATTER WHO THE BLOODY HELL YOU MARRY?! As long as it's consensual, I don't care what people do. I need a fucking watchtower.

I'm not even going to say anything about the Senate race--I'll probably jinx something.

I'm making this entry public because it needs to be.

Agreed! Gay people should be able to just as miserable as the rest of us married folks. (just kidding you know my hubby is my best friend).

My friend's mom said the same thing. XD

I don't get it. Massachusetts was a commonwealth settled by fanatical Puritans, we have gay marriage, and we are still here.

Virginia was a commonwealth settled by people who didn't like or agree with the Puritans, and this is happening?

Virginia is Southern, which means slack jawed yokels who only read the Cliff Notes version of the Bible.
