Discriminating Still...
It's disappointing to read that 11 states have voted on a ban against gay marriages. I think the majority of the GLBTiQ communities were shocked of Oregon's vote for the ban, despite the fact that over 3,000 gays were married in that state.
Yes, I know that not all gays have dreamed or ever desired to get married. However, we should have that option available to us if we should ever choose to pursue it. It's just so idiotic of one Deafie to be bragging about how happy "the tribe" (whatever!) has spoken on this issue. He just doesn't get it. Oh, that's right...he's straight and he can marry just about any woman he wants. Of course he doesn't give a shit to those different than him.
While this is disappointing for the rainbow communities, it should motivates us all to work and lobby harder together to ensure that we'll have equal rights as with the rest of the nation. 11 states may have voted on the ban, yet we still have the other 39 states to work with. Perhaps, someday, maybe in our lifetime, this ban will be lifted.
