Hello, I'm back.

Am completely emotionally exhausted. Please, for the love of all that doesn't care about what any one religion thinks is holy, do not vote for Bush in November. Or for that matter any of the politicians who have hated all things queer this week. Including the asshat from NJ who stated that gays are "fond of" a member of the same sex in the same way one is "fond of" a dog, thus we shouldn't allow them to marry because we wouldn't let them marry dogs.

This is not about religious rights (incidentally, telling you to keep your religion out of my secular government is NOT an infringement on your religious freedom, oh Christian Right); it's about the rights of US citizens. The LGBTQ people in question are not dogs, they are not defective and inferior, they are US citizens. If you've decided that all citizens are deserving of equal protection under the law (and given that I just cribbed that from one of our many revered documents, you have), marriage is no exception.

The Shrubbery in the Oval Office has now joined his political kin in threatening to constitutionally deprive citizens of this equal protection. Don't let your vote support this overwhelming act of bigotry.

My sanity thanks you, from where ever it is.
