i'll probably have more to say about it later, but

today was a good day.

yesterday was good too, when they said that just because of a typo, millions of people won't get kicked off their insurance.  reading the news, it sounded like a lot of people were angry, because they wanted people to suffer.

but hearing today that they also decided that just because some people are stupid, doesn't mean everyone doesn't deserve to be treated the same.  like, first off, duh.  but to have it set into the law that no matter where you go in the country, you get to be treated the same.  i'm crying now, but it's a good cry.

on the radio driving home, they had people arguing that "now gay people are going to be discriminating against the people who didn't want them to get married!  they're the bad guys now!  religion!"  what?

no?

what?

if i (suddenly got sufficiently less crazy to form a proper relationship, find someone who didn't mind the remaining crazy, and decided that i) wanted to get married, i'm not going to go into like, "snake-handling speaking-in-tongues it's-your-own-fault-you-were-raped" church, and be all, "hah!  i got you now, intolerant jerks!  you've got to marry me now!  rules! laws!  boom!  where's your god now?"

like, in what world do people do that?

i'd probably skip the church thing, or we'd find one that was cool with the whole thing.  why would you want to do something like that with jerks around?

see, that's why this has been dumb since the beginning.  it's never been "gay people against religion."  it's just that so many people think that if everyone is treated the same, somehow they don't win as many religion points or whatever.  "i can only do my religion if i make sure you know that i don't like you in the most public way possible."  right.  great.  go be awful someplace else.


anyway, i'm going to get drunk and try not to cry anymore tonight.
