Well. Where to begin. I'm queer. Queer queer queer. And I'm against gay marriage. So. You want me gone. Got it.
Of course, I'm against gay marriage because I believe it's none of the government's fucking business to recognize marriage on other than a contract basis. So if a group of 14 first cousins, both male and female, want to enter into a 5 year marriage agreement, then mazel tov! Of course, I'm only getting one present not 14. I have some standards. I'm not kidding either, I take the hard core libertarian position on this. I want the government completely out of the marriage business. Is that ever going to happen? Nope. And I know that.
As a person of queerness, I do not give a shit about this issue. I do not need societal approval of my life and my relationships. If I were ever to enter into a long-term relationship with a woman, then I would make sure that we have the relevant legal arrangements that would make us far more bound than marriage ever would. That's my opinion. That's my position. And if you think that means I'm intolerant, well, there's nothing I can say to that.
Look, it's your journal, your life, you can do what you want. I completely and utterly and fully support you in that. But take a breath, step back and think, really really think, if you want everyone who disagrees with you to be out of this portion of your life.
Trust me, I probably have the most experience of anyone on your flist of having a flist filled with politics that make you want to punch people in the face. If you want to make a completely safe little place for yourself, go for it! Yaaaay you. I just think you'll be bored.
