Bullshit. That’s the word I would use to describe the actions of some of our leaders in the Georgia General Assembly. Do you know what there working on? Let me tell you what stupid, outrageous bills the senate and house are working on. They want to ban gay marriage. It’s not enough that gay people have to suffer through all sorts of heinous verbal abuse—sometimes even physical abuse—our great leaders want to legally, and finally take away our rights as individuals to get married.
The next few lines are probably not going to be the most intelligent—I’m too pissed off right now to use big words and proper grammatical structure. But what fucking balls do these old [white] men have in telling ME who I can and cannot marry. It’s crazy. They say that if they allow gay marriage, it will tear at the foundations of our society, BULL-SHIT! Do gay men and women have ANYTHING to do with the high divorce rate in America? No, I think not. Those straight people are doing well all by themselves… HELLO…gay people are MEMBERS of this society, members who PAY taxes, and actually VOTE these people into office—which will not happen anymore. So basically, when these members of the General Assembly get up and talk about how unnatural and disgusting gay marriage, and gay people are, do they not realize that there is some 12 year old kid sitting down watching the news, soaking everything in… those comments and actions that are being taken by our so called leaders are the words that could lead this 12 year old to take his or her own life. I just can’t understand where these people get off with this shit. I mean, isn’t there supposed to be a separation of church and state? Isn’t there? I mean, I think I’ve read that somewhere and have only heard about it my ENTIRE fucking life! Do our own leaders who are running our state and country not fucking realize this??????? They may say that they are just “saving” our society. But really, what there saying is, “Gay people, get ready, your all going to hell!” I get the message, and I fucking don’t like it. I don’t appreciate it. The money that I earn at my job is going up there to Atlanta to pay for these people to pass these laws that would bar ME, from getting married. And I haven’t even gotten into the legal side of the whole issue.
If I were with someone for, let’s say 15 years…and this law has been passed, and I get sick and go into a coma, my partner, the LOVE of my life would not be able to say a damn thing in the whole situation; they wouldn’t even be allowed to visit me in the hospital. I don’t think I will ever understand this hatred that these people have. I just don’t. I mean, to me, I look at what these people are doing as what they were trying to do to my grandparents and mother—not letting them get a proper education, trying to bar them from going somewhere, simply because of their skin color. This is exactly the same thing, just a different group to discriminate against. I wonder if in 15 to 20 years we’re going to look back at these idiots and wonder how in the world they got elected. I’m just so disgusted and mad right now…
