Sorry, but angry rant time...
Ok, I apologize in advance for the language, but I REALLY need to vent. Normally I don't swear much, but I'm really not in a good mood right now. Prejudice is one of the few things I absolutely cannot stand, and there seems to be sooo much of it right now. Especially this crap about same-sex marriages. Seriously, what the hell? Six freaking states is all we get? I don't get it. Love is love, why does it matter if it's same or opposite sex? Gays and lesbians love, just like straights do. So why is it so different? Why can't we have what they do? "Sorry, your love isn't valid here." Seriously, what is this s**t? Damn it, that's not fair, that's frickin prejudice plain and simple! That's discrimination. America claims to be this great place, land of the free, where everyone's equal. Well, sorry, but all I see is a frickin disgusting hell of racism, sexism, and homophobes. What is so different? Absolutely nothing. We love just the same, are our feelings not worth anything simply because they don't comply to their beliefs? Damn, I thought I liked America. I thought it was a decent place to live. But really, so many other places are much more accepting than we claim to be. What the hell's wrong with our government? "We're great! We're America! Equality for everyone, unless you differ from our ideals, in which case we'll consider you lower than dirt and do everything we can to make sure that our greatness doesn't apply to you." Don't get me wrong, I'm not an America-hater. I was born and raised here, some of it's not so bad. But my god, the prejudice kills. Six freaking states, that's all! Why can't we have that...why can't they just let us be? Why do we have to be so different? There's nothing wrong with loving someone, so why are we hated so much? After all, we are human, what can we do but love in the end? Is it that we're just not good enough? Does love between two girls really mean it's not real love? No, it's gotta be real, there's just no way that feelings so strong can be imagined. So why? Sometimes, I think about all this...what if I can never get married? What if my love is just disregarded, labeled as "unreal"? Sometimes I think of this, and wonder why the world is this way. Why it's so hard to accept things that are different from ourselves. I think of that, and hope I can be strong, because now I see the life ahead of me only gets tougher, and I want to be as prepared as I can. Even if others say it's wrong, say I'm sick, say I'm "invalid", I'll still love, and I'll still go on. I just hope I can stand up to it, look forward, and see it through. I will find my own way to live, and I will love who I will. As for anyone who says it's wrong, well, honestly, I don't care. It's my life, like hell I'll change because someone doesn't like it.
