I honestly don't even know.

I think it has finally reached a breaking point for me, and I simply cannot keep from expressing myself.
A much celebrated and historic event has recently taken place here in the United States. The government can no longer presume control on who has the right to marry who, and a group of people who have been persecuted for centuries have been given a civil right that most take for granted. It is a wonderful victory for anyone who holds this country's Constitution and human rights in high regard.
Yes, there has been some downsides. I have heard stories about churches being sued for not hosting homosexual weddings, or small businesses being torn to pieces by a public outcry claiming that their practices are homophobic.
This is America. And in America we have the freedom to practice our various religions. And we have a right to own and operate family businesses as we see fit. If your religion dictates that you cannot host a gay couple's wedding in your church, then go ahead believing that. It is your right as an American citizen.
It is unfair for these groups to be singled out by these few people that wish to evoke public outcry for whatever reason they are doing it. I will always stand by a person's right to live their life as they see fit, as long as they do not encroach on another person's right to live their life.
But what I cannot tolerate, is this movement I see brewing up. This disgusting and bigoted movement to repeal these recent passings. I've seen their propaganda and heard their thinly veiled words, and it makes me sick to my stomach. Even more so, it makes me angry. All I hear are the same arguments and tired speeches that have been used for over a millennia to persecute and destroy what we have worked toward as a society.
I have gay cousins, gay and bisexual friends, and to see this backlash at a victory that finally gave them the right to be acknowledged as human citizens of this country, to see people taking these events that give them the same rights as myself and turn them into a negative, it hits me in such a personal place that I want to hit back.
IT MAKES ME SICK, TO SEE THESE PEOPLE TRY TO TAKE AWAY THE FREEDOMS THAT WERE FOUGHT FOR, TO TRY AND MAKE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS LESS THAN HUMAN.

Our people always knew itself as one name. We didn't achieve the right to literally call ourselves by our own names. We achieved the right to be recognized by the name we had rather than the name we were given. You can call yourself whatever you want, but it makes no difference when history dismisses you and calls you by whatever name was given to you out of necessity and ignorance.
P.S the hidden one was suppose to be here lol
