Why am I always the last one to know? I'm such a clueless sod, its depressing...
anyhow... after the abhorrent passing of Proposition 8 in California, Connecticut legalized same-sex marriage, then it was Iowa and Now... Vermont... tada! Even though the legislation was passed on April 3rd (or something like that) it isn't in effect till September 1, 2009... That's two states over turning their ruling on same-sex marriage in one month! This is progress, America! well done, now if someone could just knock those Knuckle-heads who passed/proposed Prop 8 and make things right in the gay ol' state of California all will be well... and we can continue in a positive direction!!
I wish I could go back home whenever the 2nd Gay Pride Parade happens there... I really hope they have one this year... Last year was the First Gay Pride Parade in 4 metropolitan cities of India (its where I'm from)... you'd think, if you've read/heard of the Kamasutra, that it would be a sexually tolerant country, open minded when it came to transgender rights and sexuality. but No! they're bigoted and say that "our culture is different than the west" well I say: Fuck you! our culture is supposed to be tolerant, we are supposed to be the culture where our epic hero, Arjun became transgendered for a year due to a curse, but used it in a way to help his family. We are the culture were although Shikhandi(ni) was technically a bad guy, he/she was born as a girl, but was then reborn as a man to take revenge on the man who slighted her... talk about girl power!
But no... we hide behind this fascist mask we call our culture so as to not offend the reformed bigots who placed the sodomy laws in the first place... and while the British have now gone on to not ONLY legalize same-sex relationships but ALSO legalize MARRIAGE, we are stuck in this rut of homophobia. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE, GODDAMMIT!! HIV/AIDS in not a reason to keep these laws in place. The disease in was not borne from Male/Male relations, get OVER yourselves!!
BAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! I hate being sick, it makes me whiny... I WANT TO WRITE MORE ABOUT THIS!!!
*goes to die now because typing this made her all tired and weak*
