We’re Here, We’re Queer, Now Get Over It
I said a year ago that within five years we would see same-sex marriage allowed in most states of the United States and with New York’s victory yesterday, I have to say we might be closer than I thought. The absurdity of not letting two people no matter what their make up get married is losing the veneer of rightness pretty quickly and I say to that, amen. It’s not like I’m rushing to get married after three under my belt, it’s just I can’t believe people in churches, blacks, and right-voting Republicans can really stand back and deny another human being the same right to pursue happiness without seeing the wrongness in that stance.
Maybe by the time the bridges are rehabilitated we can open them up for some serious wedding business here in Bayou St. John. Just maybe.

I believe you’re right–the day will come in future when people will wonder, just as I wonder how anyone could ever possibly have believed in owning other people, how could anyone object to people simply being true to themselves…one of the things that turned me against organized religion (for myself), at least most of them.

Recently I was speaking to the nun next door and she was saying something about the church, and I asked her point blank, do you think these institutions are really serving us anymore and she said she didn’t know. They aren’t. A good friend wanted me to take Tin to the synagogue to learn about god, to learn about religion, but I truly believe Tin is a gift from god, from my mother, from the universe, so he is already a part of that and doesn’t need to be shown the way to it. He came from it.
