Embarrasing...

So my home state of North Carolina has made headlines again.  This time it is not regarding the fuck-tard John Edwards...it is about something far worse.  It is about the close minded bigotry that my erstwhile home state fellows have decided to vote into law.  Actually, it is worse than that, they AMENDED THEIR GODDAMNED CONSTITUTION! 

Actually, that is not even the worst part.  Gay marriage (wrongly, in my opinion) was already illegal and unrecognized!  Regardless, this was not enough for enough people, and they felt they had to really drive their point home.  It is now, apparently, unconstitutional.  Whoop-de-doodle-do! 

OK, OK, breath Mr. Barley.  I know that within the next twenty years or so, this has no chance of not being repealed.  It seems even "evangelical" christians are not happy with the war waged on our LGBT friends and family.  Hmmm, maybe I proved my point when I said FRIENDS and FAMILY.  Do not forget your coworkers, and possibly your doctor, dentist, secretary, maid, employee, boss, CEO, CPA, etc, etc, etc. Personally, I am embarrassed.  Growing up in NC, I was lucky to be among people who valued independence, education, tolerance, and a plethora of values that were curbied the other day. 

I am not usually this up in arms about political developments.  Actually, that is not really true, but I am actually pretty positive when it comes to our country moving in generally accepting direction as regards social equality.  Still, the absurdity of this particular battle drives me mad! 

OK, I must end this.  My anger is driving any possibility of eloquence out the window.  I still am appalled at the misguided efforts going on around our country to tell people that they are not our equals.  This may not be the equal rights battles experienced in the 1960's, but it is quickly becoming the defining cultural battle of my generation.  Thankfully, I KNOW I am on the right side of history.

Good Night, and Good Luck.
