You know, I continue to be unable to wrap my head around the argument that gay marriage somehow leads to a slippery slope where you can marry your cat. I point blank asked someone today how she can go on and on about how there are too many laws and too much government intrusion into liberties and then still be for a LAW that regulates marriage nationally instead of leaving it to the state and local level.
I get homophobic asshats being against gay marriage, but this seems to have brought out homophobic asshats in people who would never even think or say they were homophobic.
Imagine the daytime talk shows if people COULD marry their pets!
It always incenses me. I can't even be articulate here. I start typing, and then I read what I write, and it's ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY ANGRY.
Yeah. Not so much, here.
Imagine the daytime talk shows if people COULD marry their pets!
The catfights would be literal.
That Bitch Took My Man!!!
In random news, I just had a phone conversation with a man who is deaf and speaking through a (female) interpreter. Fascinating! Although, I feel like he could have just emailed me.

It'd be like a Spanish-language talk show. They already take the unbelievably craxy and move it straight on into WTF territory.
Oh- I actually point blank asked my boss, and she basically said she is for the law because people are trying to redefine marriage so we have to prevent it. But you can't have preemptive laws like that--- that is just a stupid, stupid argument IF YOU ARE AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT BUTTING INTO OUR LIFE!!!!! Anyway, I am pretty angry, too.
And ever since I started riding the bus, other white people come up to me and start to tell me things that start with "Not to be racists, but..." which pretty much guarantees it will be racists.
AND, I just notices that we have two summer job-type volunteer things at the hospital. One is run by the city and one by the volunteer organizations in the hospital. One places them in the cafeterias, maintenance, or patient transport. The other places them in offices or at the front desk. See if you can guess which one is all white and which all black or hispanic! I get so, so angry!
LA LA LA I WILL NOT BE DRIVEN INTO A RAGE ATTACK TODAY.
Think barbeque, Jesse. Think barbeque...
