Front cover, Bangor (Maine) Daily News, Wednesday, November 4, 2009.
There are people who celebrate keeping people who love each other apart. There are people who make it their pathetic life’s work to keep two people who belong together from not being together. There are people who revel in not letting others be genuinely happy, and making them feel like second-rate citizens in their own country, for the want of “preserving tradition.”
These people are assholes.
As evidenced by their sweater choices, no one pictured above has been laid since 1983.
The quote at the bottom is the kind of shit that makes my blood boil.
“This campaign has never been about hating gays, but about preserving marriage and only about preserving marriage…”
NO, it’s about denying people rights you are afforded, by virtue of who you choose to sleep with. It’s about hating gays in a way that accepted by a slim majority.
October 22, 2009, 2 weeks ago, the Maine Public Broadcasting Network ran a story about Maine’s unusually high divorce rate.
Where is the politically motivated campaign to outlaw divorce in Maine?
Denying gays the right to marry is denying a group of people the right to succeed at something you are allowed to fail at.
How batshit insane is that? Don’t talk to me about this “sanctity of marriage” bullshit.
Fuck. Happy Wednesday.
Co-signed, all of this. After class I’m going home and 1) making myself hot chocolate, 2) marathoning myself some Yuugiou and Hetalia, and 3) going to bed. Because fuck, I was seriously considering transferring to a college in Maine, and I certainly don’t want to stay in Virginia any longer than I have to, and just aaaarrgghhhh.
Your laws bleed hate today, Maine.
Here’s to the land you tore out the heart of, Maine, why don’t you find another country to be part of?
