Well this Thursday “President” Bush reminded us that even a snake can smile.
It seems that in all of his wisdom, Bush has come to the conclusion that homosexuals should be accepted in our society, yet at the same time they should be demeaned, and treated as second class citizens by denying their rights. Thank you captain double-think.
It’s certainly no surprise that Bush would take this position, he is, after all, Mr. Religious Right himself. I just find it very appalling that he’d let this effect his politics. I can say this much: though he may hold the office, and I may be an American, he is certainly not my president. Nor is he the president of any other homosexual in this nation. We are supposed to live in a democracy for the people, but when the administration takes a stance like this on an issue like this, wherein no harm would be done to heterosexuals and their rights, and homosexuals should rightly be given theirs, it becomes clear that we are living under a regime that does not have the people’s best interest in mind. We are, instead, living with a government against the people.
I find it very interesting that Bush apparently has a team of lawyers working hard to find ways to prohibit homosexual marriage, especially seeing how as it is already prohibited in the United States. Maybe even he realizes that the Defense of Marriage Act is both discriminatory, and flat out unconstitutional, the strongest argument against it of course, being that it violates the full faith and credit clause of the constitution when it grants the ability of one state to ignore a homosexual marriage granted in another state.
I find it to be very disturbing to know that right now there are a team of people working in Washington trying to decide, in no uncertain terms, just what the most efficient way to screw me over is. I find it even more disturbing that these men answer back to the president, who is the one in charge of the effort to begin with. This is the reason that I assert that Bush is no longer my president, but now my personal enemy. If this sounds too reactionary, or too harsh, I’d simply have to say that Bush’s decision to wreak havoc on my life, my rights, and my human dignity is an offence far greater than my own words are able to convey.
In the end, I just guess I’m glad that this won’t be Bush’s decision. I’ll have to have hope that this issue will eventually come to the supreme court, and that they will set things straight. If we leave it to congress, and Bush, however, I really do fear the worst. There really are a lot of people in Washington looking to ruin my day.

i've witnessed unhappy marriages too but it shouldn't ruin your view of marriages altogether.
