Yes this is bullshit...YES this sucks ass...but you know what sucks worse? The fact that 3 people I know have been laid off in the past 2 months. The fact that our VA system is completely fucked and corrupt and our wounded troops are being treated like beggars after they gave life and limb for this stupid war. The fact that we're still spending 10 billion a WEEK on this STUPID ASS WAR...the fact that it's more expensive than ever for higher education and health insurance.
So YES...it's sad that same-sex couples aren't allowed to marry. But when I look at the big picture, it's no where NEAR the top of the list of priorities to be dealt with in this country. True, it shouldn't even be an issue. The people putting their time and money into supporting prop 8 should be throwing their energy into some of the other issues I mentioned. But they aren't...I'm not saying we shouldn't care about this....that's not what I'm saying at all. I don't care which way your try to spin it, nobodies life and well being is at stake by simply not being able to get married. You can live your life, go where you want, be who you want, and still have a happy drama free existence.
I don't think this is unimportant but given the current state of affairs in our country it's just not the critical situation Perez and others would have us believe...
