No, please.

Kerry conceded. Kerry conceded.

I just... how the hell is this my country? How is this my state? I don't understand how Bush could have gotten so many votes. 9% of registered Democrats in Ohio voted for Bush? Why? I don't know what to do.

And Issue One passed, the farthest reaching ban on gay marriage in the country. I want to cry. I was so sure this wouldn't happen. I was so sure that people were better than this.

...Except that unfortunately, this nightmare is not one we can wake from.

Goddess damn it.

...And Issue One. Goddess damn it as well! It's not fair to you and so many other people, who should have the same rights as everyone else!

GODDESS DAMN IT ALL!

Aw, honey *hugs*

It's not all as bad as it seems- I mean, despite the majority of people who voted against the passage, I've never felt afraid or discriminated against by living here. Most people, I think, are good, they're just ignorant. People who would never hurt a fly, would never offend another human being, vote for things like this because they didn't really realize what it said.

And I can forgive stupidity a lot easier than I can forgive the people who wrote it and got it on the ballot knowingly.
