It has been a month since the presidential election, and I am still shocked that California voters passed Prop 8. What the fuck, California?!? I am still waiting to see how gay marriage is going to destroy my marriage, as is hysterically prognosticated by the Religious Right. How, exactly? Can someone please tell me how two people who love one another and only want to commit to a life together threatens my marriage, which, according to the divorce calculator on divorce360.com, has a 10% chance of failing in the next five years anyway?
There is not a fiber in my being that believes, let alone comprehends, the "sanctity of marriage" bullshit. Sorry. I ain't buying it. Marriage is complicated and beautiful and for everyone who actually wants to make that commitment, it should be an available option. Taking that right away from any individual is to spit on the principles of freedom, liberty, and justice.
Because I am now fuming, I pass along some musical theater to cut the rancor.
Yeah, I was and am really upset about this. You can go back a few posts on my blog if you want to read my rant about it... Pretty fucked up stuff, but I hope it will motivate people to do something....
