gina_r_snapeWell I was about to get all whiny and melancholy and mention how my boss teased me this morning that I'm such a New Yorker because I got uncomfortable about doing nothing. But it was good for me to sit in the park with MD and people watch. and I'm feeling funny about having two reminders of my past in one weekend and so no wonder I feel all off kilter.
Instead . . . Now I'm PISSED OFF.
CA Supreme Court upheld Prop 8. I predict riots, and kinda wish I was in CA right now just to be part of the mayhem.
It's a fluke of biology that I am in a superficially hetero relationship. I'm not blind to the privilege that affords us when we hold hands or have other PDAs in public for a second. On the contrary, I literally live with the constant reminder that it's an illusion in need of correction and all the rights and privileges we have could be wiped away if and when it happens that MD can transition. Now the citizens of CA have to live with a schizophrenic system that upholds bigotry for all LGBT couples wanting marriage rights except the 18,000 couples who were lucky enough to get their weddings in under the wire and get a nod from the judges on the case. And oh, how absolutely precarious I'm sure they feel right now.
The fight ain't over. BRING IT ON BEEYATCHES.
