I totally understand your anger. Everyday I open up my local newspaper, in this shitty super-conservative city, and I read the letters in the editorial section. Everyday I do this, and everyday I feel like shit. Everyday I realize that these bigots writing letters are the ones who hold the majority opinion. Everyday I want to cry out for those like me who can't be fully open about who they are because their parents won't accept them. I live in California, and everyday I deal with the fact that the same people who voted to take rights away from homosexuals and bisexuals like myself, are getting a false smile from me as I bag their groceries at work...and oh, the things some people say...if you want, I'll tell you some stories another time.
But everyday I also remember, with a slight smile, that I have uprooted Yes On 8 signs in the trunk of my car, remnants of a war not yet over. They may have won for now, but we won't give up without a fight.
By the way, yes, it is hard not to scream at bigoted people...I lost my cool once in class, and I'm usually a very level headed person.
