OK, SO I WORK WITH PEOPLE PUBLICALLY. I HAPPEN TO HAVE A RETAIL JOB, SO I COME INTO CONTACT WITH PEOPLE AND CHAT. I SELL JEWELRY FOR A LIVING. I HAD A COUPLE COME IN AND ASKED TO SEE MATCHING BANDS. NO BIG DEAL, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I LIVE AND WORK HERE IN THE BAY AREA. GAYS/LESBIANS ARE PEOPLE TOO. THE COUPLE IS OBVIOUSLY GAY, AND THEY ASKED IF THE HALT ON GAY MARRIAGES IN SAN FRANCISCO WAS AFFECTING MY BUSINESS.
I SAID NOT REALLY, WE'RE STILL 45 MILE AWAY FROM SAN FRAN. THEY ASKED WHAT I PERSONALLY THOUGHT OF THE WHOLE THING WITH PRES. BUSH, AND HIS ATTACK ON GAY MARRIAGES. I TOLD THEM EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT. I PERSONALLY THINK WHAT THE FUCK IS THE BIG DEAL IF TWO PEEPS GET MARRIED AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER FUCKING AFTER? MORE POWER TO 'EM. I'M NOT TOO INVOLVED TO REALLY CARE. I THINK THAT SOCIETY HAS NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE DO IN THEIR BEDROOMS!OH, BUT WAIT....SOCIETY IS SO CONCERNED ABOUT PEOPLE MAKING LOVE, BEING IN LOVE, LIVING HAPPY LIVES, ADOPTING CHILDREN, PAYING THEIR FAIR SHARE OF TAXES, PRETTY MUCH NON-VIOLENT PEOPLE, ( HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A GAY GUY GET PISSED AND SLUG A MAN UNCONSCIOUS? NOPE, THEY'VE PERFECTED BITCH-SLAPPING!)
CONSERVATIVES ARE SO CONSUMED BY ALL THAT FUNNY SHIT, BUT WHY IS IT NEARLY OK IN THE EYES OF THE SOUTH TO STILL HOLD AND CONDUCT KKK MEETINGS AND PURSUE VIOLENCE UPON OTHERS? OR ARE THEY SO BUSY PROTESTING GAYS THAT THEY FORGOT ABOUT THE ROWDY WHITE KKK BOYS WHO BOUND A BLACK MAN, TIED HIM TO THE BACK OF A PICKUP, DRUG HIS LIVE BODY IN THE GRAVEL AND CEMENT UNTIL THE MAN'S HEAD WAS SEVERED? HMMMM GO FUCKING FIGURE. SURE THE DUDES, WERE FOUND GUILTY, BUT THAT WAS SO SHORT LIVED FOR MEMORY. IT'S ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I DON'T CARE IF GAYS GET MARRIED, THEY KNOW HOW TO LOVE, CARE, BE KIND, HAVE MANNERS, TELL THE TRUTH TO US GALS FOR SHOPPING AND FASHION ADVICE,HAVE REAL JOBS, PAY THEIR BILLS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, EAT, BREATHE, TRAVEL, HAVE RIGHTS (TO AN EXTENT) ARE ABLE TO ADOPT CHILDREN, ETC. AS LONG AS THEY DON'T FUCK WITH ME, I DON'T CARE. THEY SEEM TO BE PRETTY PASSIVE PEOPLE ANYWAYS. A LOT OF THEM HAVE ALREADY BEEN INVOLVED IN A RELATIONSHIP FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. WHO GIVES A SHIT? LET THEM HAVE WHAT THEY WANT...TO BE HAPPY AND EQUAL. I WONDER HOW GENERATION X FEELS ABOUT THIS? CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG AND MIND OUR FUCKING BUSINESS? GET A LIFE PEOPLE, GET REAL.
