Mondays Off Are Great

I loved having today off. I woke up late, laid in bed for an hour cause I didn't feel like getting up, went out to Subway for lunch and just now finished my homework for tomorrow. It is so nice to not have to worry about class or work. I am now taking a break from homework to write this. I love writing. Despite my lack of an appetite and lack of motivation the last couple of days this is still a pretty desirable pastime. That probably tells you something about the sick nature of my psyche. Why would anyone want to torture themselves with writing? I have no idea but I like it.

The election is getting closer. So many people are campaigning about question 1. It seems to have everyone riled up. It seems so silly to me that so many people are like that. It is a simple question of denying people their rights. Vote yes and the marriage law allowing gays and lesbians to marry is repelled. Vote no and the law stands allowing people who should have had the right to pursue happiness in whatever lifestyle they want are denied. It seems like the only fair, right, just, and kind thing to do here is to vote no. Maybe that is just me though.

I was campaigned at the other day by this woman outside the student center. She is trying to get people to vote yes. She says she doesn't want them teaching about those types of relationships in school. She says they shouldn't be exposed to that lifestyle because it is a hard way to live. Saying "think of the children" to me really doesn't work. These people love each other and it is from that love that their desire to get married stems. Children understand love. They know love. They know what love looks like. Why should the love between a man and a man or between two women be any different than any other kind of love? Why should it be any less valued? We are all human beings and we all want to be paired with someone when love and grow old with. We have no right or reason to deny that to anyone. Besides, marriage is just a piece of paper... right?
