JUST SO WE'RE CLEAR

[rm]

If you think that my equality under the law - MY CIVIL RIGHTS - is legitimately and appropriately the subject of a vote...

If you think that LGBTQ people shouldn't have the right to marry people of their choosing or be protected from things like job and housing discrimination...

GET OUT OF MY LIVING ROOM.

This journal is that living room, and I am not here to entertain you while also begging for crumbs of respect.

The only hope I can wring from events is the baffled RAGE with which my 12 yo son responded to the news this morning. Because OF COURSE it shouldn't be an issue.

Yes.

I remember having a conversation with my (at the time)8yr old daughter about prop 8 (CA). Once I explained to her what it was about, her words were 'that's stupid!'

exactly.

I was 11 in 1972, and thought much the same. Haven't changed my mind since.

The prop h8 donors were, almost entirely, elderly rich people. The folks against it? Young.

They're dying off and failing to replace themselves. It'll happen eventually.

But damn am I tired of waiting.

Agreed. No one should have to wait for basic rights...ever
