And it isn't about Obama.

I'm angry at voters in California, Arizona, and Arkansas voting against homosexuals. In the case of the western states, Cali banned gay marriage and 'Zona voting for defining marriage as the union between a man and a woman. In the case of Arkansas, citizens voted for the ban of same sex couple being able to adopt.

First Arkansas--you just denied millions of foster and orphaned children the joys of a loving family.

Now to Cali and Zona--yeah, you're swell denying CIVIL RIGHTS to a group of people just because they creep you out. They merely want the boring lives of married couples.

I suppose I get a laugh (and a headache) out of religious folk talking about how horrible homosexuals getting married would be; how it would ruin the sanctity of marriage. The same religious folk who marry and divorce willy nilly; who have mistresses; who marry more than one woman;who have secret homosexual trysts at rest areas and in airport bathrooms.

It's odd that I feel this way when I've only known a handful of gay people (there's a joke to be made there) in passing but I find it strange that no one is outraged that civil rights are being violated. The same people using the bible to ward off homosexual equality are bread from the same people who used the bible to promote segregation and slavery.

When millions were chanting with cult-like enthusiasm for change, I guess that means 'Anyone but Bush' but it doesn't mean 'We're sorry for oppressing a group of citizens because we are scared of their sexuality'.

That's the last I'm saying about it. It's not worth arguing about because if you don't agree with me, then we clearly see this from two different perspectives and no amount of discussion is going to persuade you or me.

i the lack of outrage is about appreciating what we do have rather than what we don't
because of course a ton of people agree with you
but i'm glad we won't hear any more about politics!
