Dude WORD.

But yeah, I blogged my thoughts on same-sex marriage and the people who oppose it, and I must say that my sentiments have not changed one. single. BIT. Except maybe now I'm even angrier at the opposition because it's being rubbed in my face every. single. DAY.

I really hate those television commercials and I hate that the opponents claim they're trying to preserve "family values" by keeping marriage "sacred". WTF.

What pisses me off even more is that they're using the argument that keeping same-sex marriage legal will mean that everyone's kids will have to learn about same-sex marriages in school.

First of all, I had no idea that it was required that schools teach about marriage. I don't remember any marriage unit in any of my classes. But okay, so maybe it is required. If that's really their concern then they should be taking up that issue with the school district or whatever and fight for an "opt-out" option. I mean SERIOUSLY.

And you know what pisses me off even more?! The people who say things like "If we legalize same-sex marriage, the next thing you know we'll be legalizing marriage to animals/adult-child marriage/[insert ridiculous pairing here!" The fact that people even think of comparing homosexuality to bestiality/pedophilia/[insert major taboo here] makes me want to puke. We're talking two consenting adults here! What's the big issue?!

And the whole civil unions thing, while better than nothing, is still kind of bull. Didn't we determine, like, a half a century ago that "separate but equal" is still considered discrimination? Which is, like, not cool?

Okay, it's late and I'm not making a whole lot of sense right now and my allergies are messing up my whole head and face, but it's almost election time here in California (6 more hours?!) so go out and do your thing! I know I will be (I hope) for the first time everrrr. Better late than never, I say!

Oh, and btw I'm voting NO on 8. In case that wasn't clear.
