"When 95% of marriages end in divorce..."
Why is it that when two people find love, people get so angry?
This quote has always stuck in my mind...why is it that a couple of the same sex angers people so much? Why is it that it is so wrong that maybe...my soul mate happens to also be a girl?
A girl that makes me completely happy whenever I'm around her. A girl that I can be completely open with and not feel exposed or vulnerable. And it hurts...knowing that because of some people's hatred and fear...I could never be with her and be happy. It hurts knowing that because of the fear I have, I know I'll be married so many years away, without her, regretting the ignorance of others and the fears holding me back
Sure people can say... "forget about what others say"...but have these people ever experienced these polar emotions tugging at their heartstrings? When their own parents constantly crack gay jokes, cursing the protests over Proposition 8 in California, I'd love to see how easy it is for them to come out of the closet. Sure, I've come out to my mother...but a hearty laugh and a shake of the head was not the reaction I was hoping for.
So...here I sit, hating society...thinking of "what ifs" and a world where I wouldn't have to hide my true feelings.

My family's the smae way. They say that they can respect anyone - unless they're straight,. There's only one peoson in my family who knows I'm bi and she doesn't even believe me! Most people are just like that because they suck. I say that if you really love her you jsut gotta f*cking go for it. Follow your heart and the rest will all work out someday.

seriously, society is f*cked up. society and the government should not shun and/or ban the ability for a couple to get married. ESPECIALLY a same sex couple. there are so many ignorant people hating people that they stereotype it's idiotic. if you really love her and you want to marry someone of the same sex, act out and try to defend your stand. i know how you feel. even though i'm not gay/bi or whatever, i fully support them because i believe in what they believe in too. i totally agree with you. those people who say to ignore what others say dont know what it feels like to be treated like crap because of who you are and what you really feel.
if you ever need help, i'm here. *hugs*
great blog.

my family is pretty much "homophobic" (except me) and it really annoys me & pisses me off. two of my closest friends are bi/lesbian/whatever you'd like to call it, and they're dating each other except it's kind of a secret. their parents have no clue about it and they don't like same-sex couples either. my parents are always cracking jokes and making fun of gay people (or people they THINK are) and if i ever told them about my friends i think they'd die. i hate that.
