The way he got all choked up made me cry!!! You RULE!!!!!! THANK YOU!!! And if you stick with your art, you'll do great. Seriously. You just have to go after it like you would any career. And as far as not having the option to "not punch"... I've never understood the "turn the other cheek" bullshit. Why allow yourself to be a doormat? Why show forgiveness and kindness to people who try to make life hard for you? It just makes no sense. I never ever go out looking for a fight, but if someone shoves one in my face- I'm certainly not going to smile and walk away! I'm going to fight back... and I fight dirty. When you fight, you fight to win- not to be fair (or else what's the fucking point??). I’m SO SO SO SO glad you posted that video!!! The way he got all choked up made me cry!!! You RULE!!!!!!

You're an inspiration to me both in terms of your art AND in the fact that you don't take any BS. I'm with you on not having the option to "not punch". anyways... thought you might appreciate this.

That doesn't make it right AT ALL, but maybe I could understand why they suck. But aside from old people who have existed in a bubble- there's just no excuse for the ignorance. I watched this video on youtube the other day that listed tons of serial killers, rapists, murders, pedophiles, etc who all got married in prison... and even fathered children during their incarceration. These are people who our society deems as so horrifying that they are no longer allowed to exist except behind lock-and-key... and in some cases SO awful that they were put to death by the prison system. BUT these people have a constitutional right to be married. Ted Bundy. Members of the Manson family involved in the Tate murders. Danny Rolling (the "Gainsville Ripper"). Both the "Hillside Stranglers". Richard Ramirez ("The Night Stalker"). John Wayne Gacy. All these MONSTERS were allowed to have legally binding marriages AFTER they were behind bars.... So why the fuck can't 2 tax paying, law abiding, loving and committed adults get married just because they happen to be the same gender? HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL??????????????

Why do people care so much??? It makes no sense. But yeah, I get nauseous every time I drive past the people holding those signs and I also was immature and yelled at them yesterday. I couldn't help it. My heart starts beating so fast and I want to puke. Tuesday is going to be scary is this prop passes. Alec and I were just talking about this today… Why do people care so much???

Here's the thing that pisses me off.... the entire debate is based on what someone prefers in the privacy of their bedroom. Any debate surrounding homosexuality is a full violation of people's privacy because it's opening up their sex life- and that's just wrong. If 2 adults want to get married, they should be able to get married. Period. But because these 2 adults happen to be of the same gender, and that means that they'll be having "gay sex"... then it's all of a sudden some monster issue because the Conservatives don't like "gay sex" because some book written thousands of years ago that has been retranslated hundreds of times (so much so that we're not even sure that the original text is anywhere near what they're preaching now) says that "gay sex" is bad. The bible laws no longer pertains to modern life- so everyone just needs to get the fuck over than one right now. And one religious group shouldn't get to decide the lives of other people. And, finally- AND MOST IMPORTANTLY- what 2 consenting adults (gay or straight) do in the privacy of their bedroom IS NOONES BUSINESS AND SHOULD NOT BE PUT UP TO DEBATE WHEN DEALING WITH LAWS AND LEGISLATURE!!!!! PERIOD!!!!!!!!! It's rude. It's invasive. It's insulting to the point of sickness. And it isn't anyone's god damn business. Not the church, not the government, not friends and family, not ANYONE. But the whole debate is stemming from these very private acts. And it's just plain WRONG. I think that anyone with common sense, religious or not, would agree that gay marriage is nothing to be worked up about and should be freely allowed.

This may sound terrible, but so be it..die already!! give me more business!! I consider myself religious, and I come from a very religious family and I do not oppose gay marriage at all. I'm fortunate that in my job, i'm exposed to all types of different churches, religions, practices, and its just great. The conservative Christians who totally live in a bubble from the rest of us are the most corrupt and biased, and are such hypocrites!!! Its insulting for those people who do horrible things in the name of Christianity. Look how bad straight married couples are to each other! The divorce rate alone is staggering, and i'm sure most of these people are from denominations that consider divorce a 'sin'. How can they be more superior to a gay married couple??? these old people are nuts!! This may sound terrible, but so be it..die already!! give me more business!!
