its funny how when you move two steps forward, it seems to take you 5 steps backward.
the recent news in our country has really gotten to make me think about the world.
the recent election has been probably the hottest topic around. and Obamas win has
really touched me. not because i'm democratic or republican, but because i feel like
its a move forward for mankind. our first black president, who couldnt be any
happier? what does this tell you? that things are CHANGING. thank GOD. its about
time! why does the minority have to feel like the odd ball out. well, guess what.. not anymore. =]
but along with this victory came another defeat. although we've moved a step away from racism,
i feel like we've moved 10 steps closer to discrimination. how so? easy, PROP 8.
sure, we may have defeated racial dicrimination but have we defeated all discrimination?
nope! why does it matter if you are in a same sex marriage? its upsetting that
people have the power to deny someone the right to marry the person they love, whether or not
if they're the same sex. i thought marriage was about LOVE, have people forgotten?
not that im bagging on you if you voted yes on PROP 8, its just sucks.
what would you do if someone told you you couldnt marry someone you love?
if you dont like gay marriage, then don't marry a gay person. plain and simple.
im all about equality and rights and although OBAMA's win is a step forward, yes on prop 8 is just a step backward.
this is not written because its about me or because its about someone i know,
this blog is just about the people out there who just want live like you and me.
EQUALITY... isnt that what we all want?
paz con tigo,
MARC
