Is it Okay if I'm Gay?
Ever since California legislated what is essentially a religious dogma for all (Prop 8), my inbox has been flooded with people wondering aloud (ok via email) if being gay is okay.
The utter decimation of a group's self worth and esteem is rarely mentioned in all the political posturing and chest thumping from both sides.
Depicting homosexuals as less than human, less than equal, or on par with pedophiles as some religious zealots have reiterated numerous times, ultimately costs lives and to think otherwise is naive and foolish.
Most people value the opinion of others more than their own. More than one will put a gun in their mouth or swallow a cocktail of meds or get tied to a post because of this ill conceived perception.
It may not be this week or next, but someone's son or daughter will die because a powerful religion cemented the notion that marrying someone you love is on the same level as molesting a child or beastiality.
The Mormon Church should be ashamed of their tenets, their hate and their unabashed spending that literally produced this hideous outcome.
Believe this:
Corrupt religious leaders with their own agenda and power trips paved the way. God and Jesus had nothing to do with it.
Ego and judgment reign in California.

And yet ... if Leslie and I had stayed in Connecticut, we could've been married. Now THAT is irony!
