Sexuality Happens

This video brought tears to my eyes.

Prop 8 is one of the most hateful laws/amendments that has been recently passed. Worse yet, it is now not only banning future same-sex marriages, but the proponents, and evil-in-carnate Ken Starr are trying to nullify all of the thousands of same-sex marriages that have taken place during the months that it was allowed. Couples will be broken up “legally”, rights stripped away, children will have their families torn apart.

This is not about right or left. It’s not about whatever your religious doctrine preaches (sometimes we forget, but there is supposed to be a separation of church and state). It’s not about how many LGBT people you do or don’t know, or whether you approve of the “gay lifestyle” (which doesn’t exist).

It’s not about you or me. Or about gender, orientation, sexuality, or anything like that.

It is about love. Commitment. Caring. Family. Rights. Joy.

Please don’t divorce my friends, my family. Please don’t divorce people I care about. Please don’t divorce those I do know…or those I don’t know.
Please don’t divorce love.

There is enough hate, enough hurt, enough anger, enough strife in this world. Stop trying to stifle love. Stop trying to bury it. Instead, let it grow, let it bloom, let it blossom.

PS. Anyone who even dreams of sending me hate mail or nasty messages about this, please save me the time and energy. This is my belief, my life, my passion, and nothing you can or will say will change my mind. You DON’T have to read my blog.  Thanks.
