My Gay Life

So I have not mentioned anything on the Prop 8 decision last week, and probably should. I have delayed because: a) there was a lot of exciting news for me last Wednesday, b) there was some news that still has me perplexed (a legitimate governor candidate thinks biking is a secret plan by the UN to take over Colorado…), and c) I had an emergency at work Wednesday afternoon.

So I waited and have had plenty of time to think about the decision, and I still do not know what to say. On the one hand I want to say “Yay! We won the first battle of the war.” and yes this means it should be easier for the LGBT side as we do not have to prove the judge wrong in the appeals court. On the other hand I want to say “So what. It is going to be 3-5 years before this means anything. Damn our court system for being so slow.” Even after they decide this case there will be a bunch of additional lawsuits to turn over the laws in every other state.

So for me the Prop 8 news was a very short celebration that ended Thursday night. Now it is back to the grind. Trying to figure out how to Boycott Target and Walmart at the same time. Boycotting Best Buy even though I rarely shopped there in the first place. Trying to figure out how to be interested in ENDA when I live in a state that already has these protections. (Yes I know you do not have the protections and I do care about that. But, I am selfish, and therefore do not care as much.) And trying to find a boyfriend. (Apply in the comments )
