So, I stayed silent through the whole deal happening in California. I held my breath for the best, and it came to be. Ok, so, my workplace is very iffy as far as gay issues. If we have any gay employees (besides my gay butt), no one knows about them.

My boss walks in today and says, "Have you seen where they passed the bill in California for gays?". I was like, mmmm yeah, why?

Response. "I don't understand why the American people try to block our own citizens from their rights. What difference does is make who you are married to and who you file your taxes with and if you receive the refund from our government. They are us, our citizens, Americans. I don't give a damn if they are gay or what. They deserve the support of our country. We let illegals across our borders, house them, give them jobs, and they are not even a part of us. I don't understand."

Needless to say, my boss moved up the couple of notches he had left, because he has always been a great boss and friend.

Why is our government denying our citizens their rights. It has nothing to do with who you love. It is an act of acceptance, survival, bringing our country together as a whole. America needs to get their feet off the desk and acknowledge everyone, and be a force of one, not a divided, racial, homophobic country that we are on the verge of becoming.

I am so proud for each of you and your spouses, loved ones, partners. May you be the next to receive acceptance and rights that we all deserve.
