I am excited about the new possibilities of gay marriage, much as i see it out of reach for myself. but of course, i also dread the coming fight over it. But we have to stand up for ourselves, don't we? well, i can't even say there's a majority of gay people I know who want marriage, who will even stand up for their right to marry. Strangely, it seems, in order to win any respect, we have to stand up for this one, or be shoved back twenty years. I like th idea of gay marriage, no doubt, but if gays can't even be open and teach high school in most states, what's the point? maybe we have other issues to fight. or maybe we can start with this one, stand behind this one point and make all the others fall in our direction, too. I'm not sure we're that strong, but this eats at me, all the people joining together in hate against us, calling themselves Christians. No followers of Christ would be so motivated by hate.
I'd still prefer to focus my energy on the people we're killing in Iraq. Sure, I can't marry the person I want to, but at least I'm alive. Can't say the same for many many Iraqi's.
