Should we have Abolitionist Parades then? How long does this take? Especially over a non-issue.
Maybe it's a consequence of how I was reared, or where (Southern California). I don't know. Or maybe I'm just an old relic ($DEITY knows I have the years for it). I was only a tot in the 1960's, but I think had I been the age I am now when the "sexual revolution" was going strong and casual, public sex (particularly among college aged students) was common, I would have felt the same way about that as I do gay parades. It's not anger I feel, it's more like, "Jesus. Everything that's happening in the world today and this is what you choose to do with your time and energy? This is what you choose to celebrate?" Everybody schtupps somebody some time. It's no big deal.
It's difficult to "butt the fuck out" and that's what I'd most like to do, but having it incessantly thrown into your face is getting a little tiring. This marriage thing is idiotic. How the hell does Gay Marriage harm anyone? If those opposed would simply STFU and let it happen, the issue would go the fuck away - which is what I'd like it to do. I don't care about anybody's, check that, I do care about 3 marriages. Mine and my two daughters. Aside from that, what the fuck do I care if somebody wants to marry a goat? I don't have to live with it. But, please don't give me any photos. ;0)
