i have been quietly standing in the shade

Hey guys!

A word on the BIG NEWS happening now. There have been a lot of articles, videos, tweets, Facebook updates, the list goes on, of what’s going on, and I just have something to say.

Everyone deserves the right to be married, because love is love is love. The fact that we’re even having this discussion is mind blowing if not for the history of our country slowly speeding up to the society’s wants. This article by Scott Fujita brings to the forefront many a time when America did things that Americans should (and have) learn from. And not all at a time hundreds of years ago, when we can claim ignorance: recently, so recently that there are people around to chat with, so recently that we should be looking at the (non) issue of the right to marry and be thinking, “Oh god, our children will be so embarrassed by all of this.”

I hope that we do the right thing. I hope that the right thing is obvious. I hope that America can grow and learn from another time in our history when doing what is right is not even necessarily doing something that’s hard.

It doesn’t matter if being homosexual is a choice (which I don’t think it is.) Because even if it was, so what? People choose to marry, and remarry, and have numerous ex-spouses and no one bats an eye. Every relationship deserves the recognition and the respect and the challenge of marriage. And I, for one, can’t wait to have this be in our past, and have our children live in the bright, colorful future.
