tarotgalI haven't bothered before to rant about this Marriage Protection Week absurdity... because it's just flat-out the stupidest thing I have heard in a LONG while and I wouldn't have the faintest idea where to start with it. I just sit open-mouthed at the stupidity and wrongness of it all. Not to mention it coinsiding with the 5-year anniversary of Matthew Shepherd's murder!!! *hits head against the wall*
But I was just checking the dates on the main MPW website and came across this Q&A about why letting gay people marry is "wrong" And... I just cannot find the words to speak about that kind of thing. It's insane that so many people in this day and age feel like this. I just.... ARG!!!!!!!! I'm so frustrated with all of this. I honestly don't understand why there is such need to deny loving people from doing something like getting married. All of this 'they can visit in hospitals and share property already' business is even more confusing. All right, if you don't have a problem with them having those rights, why is being considered a couple legally such a problem if they're going to act it anyway? ARG! Love is love, and this is doing NOTHING to keep marriage a "loving institution". It's just causing more friction and hate where it doesn't have to me (and shouldn't be, IMHO)
I just... AHHH!!!! The timing and Bush and AHHH! I'm SO beyond frustrated right now. I'm stunned and sickened. And I wish my neighbor would turn down his stereo. I am tired of banging on the wall. It's midnight. Come ON now. Does NO ONE have common sense nowadays? I don't even want to get into the California election *rolls eyes*
