I know someone has to be working on the compromise angle. I know that something is better than nothing, but wow, do I resent the New York Times telling me what should be "good enough" for me as a queer person.

I hate the gay marriage debate so much I don't even know where to start. It's just non-stop awful, overshaodws other critical issues for queer people and yet has symbolic primacy in terms of how we are perceived by the broader world. It's a fucking mess.

Meanwhile, I have cold and feel utterly like crap.

No.

I can't read this crap any more.

I just can't.

I don't see any difference between the love I have for my husband of almost 14 years and the love the two of us share for our wife.

I don't get why the love I feel for my wife is less valid than the love I feel for my husband.

I don't get why some kinds of prejudice are okay and others are not.

Do I get to say "I hate all conservative Christians" now, and use that as a basis for whether or not I will wait on them in my parents' shop?

Moreover, can I continue to ban them from the shop until they stop being Christian?

Then, if I get enough like-minded shop owners together, can we steamroller legislation that bans all conservative Christians. We'll make it happen using HIGHLY inflammatory and misleading advertising.

Why not? I don't like them. They're icky. They make me uncomfortable. They act weird and say weird things and hang out with people who don't like me and who I don't like. If I had kids, they might be swayed by a lifestyle that promotes bad behavior and bad habits.

Why can't I make my prejudices into law? I'm not imposing anything on people, I'm just protecting my family.

*eyeroll*

I need to go away now before I start saying what I REALLY think.
