Current mood:
complacent
I watched, recently, the events unfold in California concerning the decision of their Supreme Court and gay marriage. I confess that, as I stood behind the bar watching the television when they announced that the state must recognize the legal right of same-sex couples as "married", I cried. Tears fell, proudly, profusely. My heart swelled with happiness. I know that it's going to be up for a referendum by the voters of that fair state in the upcoming election but I have a sneaking suspicion that the people of California will show us the way.
And to those that fear my people killing the institution of marriage, think about this; Massachusetts hasn't fallen into the Atlantic since they ratified same-sex marriages, the antichrist isn't riding with the four horsemen because of it and my breeder brothers are still getting married.

Love does that to people. All people.
I was a staunch Hillary Clinton fan. I truly believe that she has far more experience and connections than Senator Obama does and would have been a better candidate. That being said, I recently saw Barak Obama on ABC News and he stated that, although he's not behind "marriage" for same-sex couples (he prefers civil unions) he is not bothered, and I quote, "at all" by the California court's decision. He stated that firmly and with conviction. I got the feeling that to him, even though it's an issue with many in this country, it's not the crisis it's made out to be. And I agree.
He has my vote.
My father is doing well. I was a bit late for his combination Father's Day/Birthday celebration but in my defense; the fact that I made a function that was scheduled on a Sunday, when I work until gods-know-when from Saturday night, I think I did good!
My stepmother was a bit cold to me but it's something I have gotten used to. It was great to see my brat sister.
