I'm scared, i'll admit. the fight that's begun over gay marriage reminds me of how many people hate our ideas, if not us. I was aware of their hatred, but their voices are gaining in power and confidence. And our friends? Almost every major Democrat stands against us. Thank you to Carol Moseley Braun though, for calling it how it is, that people's fear of gay marriage is the same fear against interracial marriage. This is what always happens when a fight starts, people pick sides, and the vehemence grows. It happened to me a year ago when I stood up to claim conscientious objection. Certain people screamed their vituperance at me, and certain people whispered their support. But that first period, where emotions gain momentum, hurts the most.
I hope the future holds good things for us; i hope people will see this fight as a civil rights fight and not an issue of backwards morality. I hope more of us stand up to fight this one.
