Furienna2: I’m sorry you feel that way. This has been a very personal week for me, unfortunately.
Yesterday my husband, Bryan, and I marked our 16th anniversary (despite what the Knights of Columbus and the Mormons might say). The very next day we find ourselves having to march in protest in Philadelphia to defend the few rights we still have here in America.
I had every intention of staying away from politics, and will be next week. But I HAD to do these four days simply because this is as personal an issue to me as any can get.
I needed to speak out this week, not only as a homosexual but also as a Christian. THIS IS NOT A HYPOTHETICAL. THIS IS NOT CONSERVATIVE VS. LIBERAL. THIS IS NOT POLITICS. IT IS MY LIFE.
I really thought Americans were above all this. Of course, the words of H.L. Mencken and P.T. Barnum should have disabused me of that notion long before Prop 8 came along.
I don’t get to vote on all of your marriages, so I feel you don’t get to vote on mine.
If I disturbed you, I can’t say I’m sorry, because that’s what art should do: make people uncomfortable when they are in the wrong.
Once more, next week is politics-free because we all need to escape from it all. I can’t promise I won’t come back to the subject of politics again, though. If that bothers anyone please unsubscribe now. If, however, you don’t mind thinking as well as laughing from time to time, feel free to stick around.
