snoweeIt's going to pass.
It's going to fucking pass
"Constitutional Amendment Number 3"
Joint Resolution on Marriage
This is to amend the Utah Constitution to read that 'marriage consists only of the legal union between a man and a woman; and no other domestic union may be recognized as a marriage or given the same or substantially equal legal effect'.
It's going to pass and when I knew it would pass because this is such a fucking conservative, closed-minded, backwards state who ONLY sees "gay marriage" in those words and not the other thousands of meanings such as heteros "shacking up" and, you know, DISCRIMINATION!!!! I thought I'd be okay with it. Now that a majority of the votes are in and it's winning by a landslide, I feel cold. I feel sick. I want to crawl out of my skin. I started to cry which is the part that shocked the hell out of me. I'm just. I just. I'm speechless. I want to run naked down the streets yelling "YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES!" I want to move out of the state, but even though my husband has known this since the day we met, he doesn't seem to give a fuck. He doesn't look for jobs outside the state. He is the one who decided we were moving back here when we were out of this fucking hell hole. GOD! I've never hated Utah as much as I hate it today!!!
