Yeah, they were kind of great together. Although the film itself is so Iconic, I suppose it was natural that I'd be disappointed with it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Writing "This is all bullshit." a brazillion times does NOT make for a good analytical essay on an essay that purpotes to show how homosexual marriage damages heterosexual marriage, right?

A good analytical essay might include you talking to various married folks on how "damaged" they feel their marriages have become. Especially if you know any married folks in Massachusetts. Or Canada or England.

Hey Nora? Your marriage damaged cause them there gays get to be hitched and have the same legal rights you do?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Is now a good time to bring up the interesting point that a friend from a generation before me mentioned - that the slogans and rhetoric against gay marriage now sound eerily similar to the slogans and rhetoric against interracial marriage when he was young?

And ya know, it kinda bugs me that the religious right are all het up about the issue, because back when I was stuck being a miserable good Christian girl in a sin-filled urban public high school, my parents, and all authority figures of the church we went to were always preaching how I shouldn't let myself be defined by anything going on around me. The purity of my good Christian girl-ness should shine the brighter for being surrounded by ... something other than the insular society of our own brand of xianity. So why can't fundementalist Christian marriages be content to be what they are, and not defined by any other marriages around them?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
the slogans and rhetoric against gay marriage now sound eerily similar to the slogans and rhetoric against interracial marriageThey really do. It's just frightening to realize that, though we think things keep getting better, they really stay the same in too many ways.
