So I was truly stunned when the results on Prop #8 came in on Wednesday and the majority of the voters agreed to pass that stupid measure. I can't believe I live in a state that would amend the constitution and take rights away people. I thought if we could vote a black man into office we could also help gays. But I guess the majority of people in California aren't open to gays yet. Women had to fight to get the vote so I guess gays will have to fight longer too. But really people, I would have thought we would be more opened minded by now. I guess I was wrong.
When I came here from Michigan I must say I hadn't met a gay person (well, one that was out). Then I met several and you know what? They are no different except they happen to have feelings for the same sex. That's it people. I guess loving the same sex is "scary" for those "yes voters." If these "yes voters" were suddenly told they couldn't be married anymore because being single was the new thing, I am sure they would understand the plight of gays.
Gays want the same rights as us man/women relationship people. If you have ever truly loved a person you would know you can't help loving that person. In my opinion, you can't chose who you love, it just happens. And all people should be free to love who they want. I don't feel the government should tell people who to love. Its really none of their business. I would like people to look at the world as "Citizens of Earth." At the end of the day, we are all people of earth and we should all have the same rights being we are all citizens.
If aliens came to earth right now they wouldn't see us as man/woman relationship people but they would see us earthlings. Wouldn't it be a great place if we all looked at each other as citzens of earth so we can start picking on those Klingons?
