I can't even sleep right now, I feel like I'm going to throw up over the Prop 8 thing. To feel the hatred of half of the members of your state directed at a core part of your being.... I've just never felt the "bubble of tolerance" that I've lived in for so long dissipate so clearly. I haven't been this horrified since... well.... the death of Matthew Shepard, really.
Yeah I'm all melodramatic, but it is truly affecting me. I would love to go into a Mormon church with a bullhorn and scream at them till they come and arrest me.
