We're all in this together. I've found participating in the demonstrations pretty uplifting myself, which is good, because it's about the only antidote I've found to fight back the sadness and anger that has otherwise fairly consumed me in the weeks since the election. The nationwide city hall protests fell on my birthday, which was both a sad and exhilarating way to mark my 41st year on earth. <BR/><BR/>Like you, I'm leery of family members who have avoided this topic with me. I opened the door by sending a letter to my entire family prior to the election, telling them what marriage equality means to me, and dispelling the Yes on 8 campaign of lies that voters had been bombarded with in California. But not a single family member responded to my letter—before or after the election. I get the sense that many of them voted against my rights, and I'm going to have a very difficult time attending family functions in the near term.<BR/><BR/>Hell, I'm having a difficult time just being in public, walking around among fellow Californians who voted one way or the other on my rights on November 4, in a way that their rights have never been negotiable. Whichever way they voted, I resent that my rights were put on the ballot alongside the rights of farm animals. Never mind that the farm animals won and we lost. <BR/><BR/>Happy anniversary and happy birthday. And, one day, happy wedding day. We will get there.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05625311624206892914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061321.post-55199573789953096742008-11-24T19:42:00.000-05:002008-11-24T19:42:00.000-05:00A double celebration--congratulations!
