STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
Today’s ruling of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court is deeply troubling. Marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman. If activist judges insist on re-defining marriage by court order, the only alternative will be the constitutional process. We must do what is legally necessary to defend the sanctity of marriage.
Who the fuck does he think he is? Who is he to decide who people are allowed to love and who people wish to live in a committed relationship with? Who the fuck made him god? I'm straight and I can still understand that you don't chose who you love, it choses you. And there's nothing wrong with that. Marriage isn't about gender, it's about a commitment. And if two people want to make that commitment to each other then who the fuck is he to say they can't?
Wasn't the entire founding point of America to be an escape from tyranny? Freedom to live how you want; freedom to make your own choices and live as you see fit - and not as the government told you? Why does that only count when it's easy or convienent? America's hard. It doesn't come easy and it doesn't fit nicely into a peg. We have to accept things that we don't personally like to ensure we ALL get that right to chose; to celebrate our freedom. Freedom isn't what one conservative asshole decides it is, it's what each one of us - unique and wonderfully diverse - makes it.
Live and let live Just because you don't like something doesn't mean you get to stop it. Doesn't mean your opinion is "correct" and that it's your job to stop people from celebrating and living their freedom. You do your thing, they do theirs. Why is this so hard to understand? It's so simple. And yet so far from reach in these dark days.
