Okay, I was ecstatic, still am, about Obama, along with the rest of the world. Thought that night and even the next morning that Prop 8, which stops gay marriage--like ours--in California, was going to fail, as it should. So mournful, melancholic, furious that it passed. There's lots of different pro-queer organizations fighting against it. But what does it mean that us lgbtq people, that it's okay to refuse one of the most basic of possible rights (at least in the West), the right to form a family with someone of your own choosing? It means hets couldn't care less, don't grant us human dignity, we are just sex thrust in the face of their children to them.... I can't don't want to waste good energy finding the best way to articulate my rage and sorrow. Next time...
