Yesterday equality won and thousands of Gay and lesbian's ran to the streets of West Hollywood to celebrate the overturning of prop 8. As many of you know proposition 8 (or the or the California Marriage Protection Act) was a ballot and constitutional amendment that they passed in the elections of November when we voted for Obama basically it was going to state in the constitution that "only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." meaning no gay couples are allowed to get married because if they did they would be ruining the traditions of marriage. That day the people voted and the bible thumpers got their wish homosexuals were second class citizens with no right to marry. I remember when i found out i was devastated the dreams of thousands of my gay friends were crushed the plans for all of us being married and being in a union of forever and ever with our partners was crushed i remember tears from friends and even myself were shed the place i lived and loved had rejected who i was and the right for me to marry who i loved. Finally yesterday everything changed and we saw a little sun shine from the box they have us in Mr. Vaughn Walker ruled that Proposition 8 was unconstitutional "under both the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses" we have come a long way from all the discrimination and hate we will remain strong and fight for our rights and make equality stay. I can finally say i am proud of my state California for making the right choice i am still not getting married until its legal in California i made that a rule and the girl i am dating now agrees with me i mean this whole thing has to be appealed and hopefully it goes down and soon i can pick out my wedding dress! California you are full of gay's don't deny us our rights you must show them you can bring equal rights and be a beautiful state with happy people living happily ever after we are here we are queer so get used to it!! I will never get tired of saying im so damn proud of who i am and i only wished my family would accept me as i am a giant gay. For now this lesbian will go out and celebrate well at least she wished she could since yesterday i have been suffering from the worst toothache ever! i think i have to get my wisdom tooth removed and im scared! i hate dentist with a passion but i must go because right now it feels like my jaw is about to fall off my head is pounding and i feel like im about to faint.. if anyone has a good remedy that's all natural please comment me i have tried peppermint oil extract but i think that is making it worse.
remember be true to yourself whether your gay or straight just be happy and live life.
