Ok. I know I've been pissy (and on the wp) about the whole California gay marriage thing of late. But, you know, it's hard not to be, and I blog that shit to get the feelings out so they don't poison me. It's frustrating and ridiculous, and I don't even live in California. I was born there, though, so I feel some connection to it.

But. Here's the thing. Gay marriage will happen. It will. It's only a matter of time. Each subsequent generation becomes more progressive and open-minded. Kids these days, most of them, don't give a shit if you're gay. Even young Southern Baptists feel they have more important things to worry about than gay marriage (according to my mother, anyway).

I promise though, young people don't have these weird hangups about sexuality. And those old fag-bashing fucktards will be dead soon, or in crappy nursing homes their gay children put them in.

So don't worry. (I am mostly saying this to myself.) It's all gravy. And patience is a virtue. This does not mean that I won't be upset by the setbacks and the cruelty of hateful people. This does not mean I won't bitch about it more in the future. It just means that in my heart I know that might does not make right, and all this ridiculousness is only the dying gasps of an outmoded, archaic, laughable way of thinking.

And one day, all that will be left is embarrassment. The DOMA will go the way of miscegenation laws and our children will think us silly. Some of them won't believe there were ever laws that prevented two people in love from marrying. And that will be awesome.
