45. Believe me, getting to this point in my life has taken me a lot of work
Edited on Mon Oct-04-10 01:07 PM by Downtown Hound
I think being an activist on this issue has helped me a lot. On the day that the CA State Supreme Court upheld prop 8, I got arrested for civil disobedience. I remember all the beautiful gay and lesbian couples crying on the steps of the court when the decision was reached. Seeing firsthand the destruction and heartache these hypocritical shitbags inflict on truly wonderful and amazing people has helped give me quite a spine when dealing with them. I watched all these lovely gay couples kissing as they were being handcuffed and taken away. It was a powerful and emotional sight.

Not too long ago I was quite the wuss when doing things like this also. Don't beat yourself up over it. Just work on it. One of these days, maybe you'll be able to tell some Mormons to fuck off as well. LOL.
