On the Journey of Prop 8

Thoughts:

• The voters and the Supreme Court of California do not diminish my love for my partner.
• The law and love are unrelated.
  
• The Gay Rights Movement is not the same as the Civil Rights Movement; different principles, different histories, different battles. Comparisons of marriage rights are not a creative solution.
• I want to deeply question how and why I will get married/sign a civil partnership/have a commitment ceremony.
• I do not want to erase the parts of me that make me different. In fact, I want to express them even more.
  
• I want to be part of a movement and a campaign that unites rather than divides.
• I do not care if I am unrealistically idealistic--we do not truly know what is unrealistic.

• All of these are poems.
