Proposition 8

Whaddup people.

Aight let's get straight to it. Proposition 8. For those of you who don't know, Proposition 8 is basically a proposition by the California State gubment to ban gay marriage.What kind of BULLSHIT?!

I'm sorry, but as much as people debate this shit and protest gay marriage I can't help but think to myself "What right is it of anyones to get in my damn business this serious." I mean damn, keeping it all the way funky, if I wanna eat pussy for the rest of my damn life why does that offend you? Do I protest when I see u and your fat ass girlfriend go into the all you can eat buffet and eat it all? NO.

What if somebody proposed a ban on fat people marriage because there are starving children in Africa? Sounds crazy but think about it. What if somebody decided that a married couple could only weigh a combined total of 400lbs or the marriage would be rendered null and void? That's stupid right? STUPID.

Mkay, the main concern of the public is that allowing gays to marry will tarnish the sanctity of the institution of marriage.

*blink*

WHAT?! Are u serious? Let me break it down so it can forever and consistently be broke (Love Jones quote. ha.) Cheating tarnishes the sanctity of marriage, addictions tarnish the sanctity of marriage, lack of communication tarnishes the sanctity of marriage. Point blank, the institution of marriage is tarnished by BEHAVIORS, not GENDERS. Oh, and for those people who will throw Bible verses in my face, u can kill that noise. For real. I respect peoples beliefs. I really do. However, there was this little thing the U.S. implemented awhile back, you may have heard of it. It's called the seperation of church and state. This means that religious teachings should hold no ground whatsoever in this matter.

On a more personal note, though often times I won't say it, I am in love. I am in love with a wonderful person who just so happens to be female. Out of respect for her and our situation (long story) I won't get into why we're not together, but I will say that, if given the legal opportunity, I'd marry her happily. It pisses me off that a choice that should be mine and mine alone has been turned over to the damn gubment. See, even if she gets down on TWO knees plans the most elaborate proposal known to man and I say YES, it won't mean shit. It's a sad day when your inability to persue your life, your liberty, and your happiness, alienates you from the rest of the world.

As a woman who has invested years into forming a strong foundation for a relationship, as a woman who is at her best when I'm loving her, it befuddles me how something that I consider sacred could possibly be viewed as an abomination. She is my inspiration. And I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. It was decided that I should love her. This is not a CHOICE. Loving her is not a fuckin' CHOICE. When you fall in love it is not a CHOICE. And if u should happen to fall in love with someone of your same sex, that doesn't make it any less real.

However, if you make the choice to make it "official" you also make the choice to not be recognized as next of kin in the event of emergency. You run the risk of not being able to be the legal guardian to all of your children, and so much other stuff that dehumanizes you.

It dehumanizes you because the cheater, the beater, the molester, hell even the killers have basic human rights. Rights to a spouse thought they take them for granted, rights to a family though they scar them, rights to conceive children, fuck them up, claim to be reformed and then regain those children.

Because of who I love, we are not the same I am a martian (Weezy F. BABAY!) and the US of A has no fuckin clue what to do with me.

*raises hand*

I have an idea! They can get the fuck out my Kool-Aid and let me live my life.

Peace Y'all.
