Victory in New York

Coming home from work, and helping my aunt cook dinner I anxiously check my twitter and also CNN to look at the news. As you might (or might not have known), New York was to vote on same sex marriage tonight. Same sex marriage is legalized in New York. The governor just signed the bill which will give us the right to marry within 30 days. Instantly expressed my happiness on twitter, facebook, and now I'm writing it out on blogspot haha.

I linked the CNN article there which should be updated as things progress. There's a lot of hateful comments as well as supportive ones on the CNN article that I linked above.

Here are some that I saw that stood out.. :

"Two men getting married, or two women getting married, has no effect me. If it has an effect on you, you have more problems than you think."

"the gays are all sick minded and unable to relate to the opposite sex - this gross lifestyle is the cause of AIDS and it is the taxpayer who will get to pay for their medical care for a sick sick lifestly!!!!  This has nothing to do with government and they are way over the top voting on this trash!"

 

Wow.. DADT repealed, Bin Laden dead, same sex marriage, lots of big things happening this year..

I'm EXTREMELYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY HAPPPY inside. Even though I don't live in NY, I can see this as the early stages of federal marriage rights for GBLT people. Starting with state level, and then moving on to the fed. level. Even though there's still a lot to be done, it's a sign that the U.S. in general is progressing towards marriage equality for the GBLT community. It's a hot topic and debate between the two sides. 

Knowing New York, being Republican controlled is a great thing because this, indeed, will cause a national impact if it hasn't already. I'm shocked that the bill made it to the Senate. I'm very happy, because this is history in the making. I'm apart of it, the battle that we all have to go through everyday concerning the right to marry. 

Some might say that gay's don't deserve special rights just for being gay. But in reality, marriage is a universal thing. The right to marry is a universal human right. It's love, between two people. And that's all that matters..

"I didn't chose to be gay. Gay chose me."

(Yeah I got that from @luanlegacy from one of his youtube videos.)

"Kelsey Grammer can end a 15yr marriage by phone, Larry King is on divorce #9, Britney Spears had ...a 55hr marriage, Jesse James & Tiger Woods, while married, were having sex with EVERYONE, 53% of Americans get divorced and 30-60% cheat on their spouses. Yet, same-sex marriage is going to destroy the institution of marriage? Really? Re-post if you find this ironic."

I'm happy once again.

I ended up moving to south dakota in May to live with my uncles family. I been pushed too my limits involving my mom who is no longer my mom. she is an evil person but I'm old enough to be responsible and not have to rely on anyone.

we live in a small community. 1 hour away from Rapid City. it's extremely different here but in a good way.


I rethought about the air force and know that that is the last option now. I can work with my uncle during college in which I reapplied for the local university in town about 10 mins away driving. some might say it's a disadvantage that I'm in a small town, of appx 10,000 people but it's really great here. every body knows everybody, and a plus is that my uncle owns two successful nail businesses here that I can work at. I'm already working full time for him and my aunt during the summer so it's a steady income for me that I can live on since I don't have to pay any bills, I'm just overall great. Im planning on to get my nail license also so that I can do nails part time which doesn't sound so great but you gotta do what you gotta do to survive. I don't want anyone to support me so i want to be independent. my uncle is already doing enough and I'm just a receptionist at the moment. with a nail license I could be making a grand a week because business is great. and thats speaking from part time too!!


people here are so friendly. we live in a pretty great neighborhood too, let's just say that people around here are more than well rounded.

my cousins are little biscuits too. they're so cute and funny. they have me to look up to as an older brother and I'm glad im here because their parents are hard workers and work all day.

I'll post more later. I'm watching Kung Fu panda 2. sorry for the lack of updates in my life! I'll try to post more often now that life is great.
