Are you on the right side of history?

Years and years from now, when our children's children are coming over to visit and they talk about 'back when gay people didn't have equal rights' what will you tell them? Will you talk about how you stood your ground and fought through all odds to win your rights? will you tell them that you were there, standing side by side with your gay friends/family, to help them win their rights? or will you tell them that you were against it? 2 of those answers will make your grand kids look up at you in pride. Spoiler: the last one isn't one of them.

You might not realize it now, but years from now this WILL end up in the history books. It might not seem like that big of a deal to some people, but it is bigger than you know.

I bet during the women's rights movement, many men thought that women wouldn't get their rights and that years later it would all be done for and forgotten. But that wasn't the case, women never gave up, they fought, and they fought until they had the same rights as any man. Today we read about it in the history books.

Even farther back, when blacks had to fight for their rights. Whites saw them as less. Like they weren't human beings. But that wasn't all whites! some whites were there and supported the black's getting their rights. Again, people thought it would just go away, that this wouldn't be a big deal, but it DIDN'T go away, it went on until rights were given. Today we read about it in the history books.

A little closer to home now. Some might not even think about this now, but for a while, blacks and whites couldn't marry one another. They fought and won their rights as well. During this fight it was said that if blacks and whites were aloud to marry one another, it would tear the fabric of society! The next step would be people wanting to marry their dogs! Everything would change and not for the better. But here we are, inter-racial families are just a normal part of society now. We read about this in the history books.

Now here we are, gay people having to fight for OUR right to marry. Really, you think people would see the pattern by now. People fight for their rights until they get it. We aren't just going to give up because you say 'The bible says it is wrong.' There is a reason for the separation of church and state, this is one of those reasons. We can't make a decision based on our religion. Just because you believe something doesn't mean everyone else does. There are gay christians and churches that accept gay people into their society, just because you are stuck in the past, doesn't mean the world should be also.

The world is a new place now compared to what it was. Has anyone ever stopped to think that maybe what the bible is, isn't all that it ever will be? Maybe there is more out there being written right now as I type, The rules in the bible changed from the old to new testament. Who's to say it wont change again? People change, times change. It is just life.

So I will ask you again:

Stop and look at your self right now...

When this time is looked back on in the future...

Will you be seen as the good guy?...

Or the bad guy?

Her

So this has turned into more of a romantic love type of blog than what was originally planned, and that is fine. But every now and again people want something they can laugh at. So now for a little story about how I discovered who I REALLY am.

For the longest time I dated guy after guy after guy. Basically, if a guy asked me out? BAM we were dating. Some lasted a while, some only last a matter of days. But in the end, when it was over whether I ended it or they did I didn't care. I would pretend I did, act depressed and like *cue dramatic-teenage-girl-breakup-drama* "Oh my god! my life is over! what will I ever do!" so that my friends wouldn't be like *cue-teenage-girl-fighting-for-no-reason* "You heartless bitch!"

But if I do say so myself I was a pretty damn good actress! I even convinced myself for a while there that I actually gave a damn about what guys thought about me.

But then one day along came this glorious angel. She was beautiful, though she couldn't see it. She was so very talented, though she denied it. From the moment we actually met, I knew there was just something different about her. We talked and became best friends. She knew every little dirty secret of mine,even the ones I made up foolishly to impress her. I knew about her secret crushes and teased her about them. It was the best friendship I had ever been in. Just full of laughter, happiness, and fun.

She sat behind me in English class and yes I know this whole thing sounds so cliche and lame, but this is honest to god how everything happened!

She started dating this guy that I had dated once, he was such a big looser. He was far to nice and needy, the type of guy that you just want to smack in the face and scream "WHAT THE HELL DUDE STAND UP FOR YOURSELF!" but no one ever did, so he went on being needy and pathetic.

Well while she was dating him we talked all the time and I began to realize that the happiness I got when I was around her wasn't because we were the best friends ever, it was because when we were together she gave me her full attention as if I was the only person in her life, and that was what I wanted.

Well when she was dating the pathetic looser, (lets just call him Eugumphry) I started to realize that my time with her was being stolen from me because his dumb ass was invading her thoughts. I started to feel something and I didn't like it one bit. I wanted to rip Eugumphrys head right off his body and feed it to my cat. But I had never felt anything like this before so I wasn't sure if this was really what jealousy felt like or if this was something else that was wrong with me.

So months went by and this feeling just kept getting stronger inside of me. I eventually just ran with the idea that it was jealousy and thought I should just buck up and live with it. Another couple months past and Eugumphry came for me for advice because apparently him and (we are going to call her Scarlet Rose) had been having problems lately and he needed my help because he knew that I knew her best. (that made me feel great, knowing that Eugumphry thought that I knew more about his girlfriend than I did.)

So foolishly I told him that I was going to help him out. At first I tried to actually help him. Then one day I was talking to Scarlet Rose in class and I let it slip that I liked her, and when I say like her, I mean I was so madly in love with her that I would find a way to move the sun moon and stars to make her happy. When I told her this, she told me she liked me also. At that very moment something switched in my head. I knew I had to destroy Eugumphry. The war was on.

I started feeding him false crap to do for Scarlet Rose that other girls would like but that she would hate and think was just disgusting and just want to smack him around. Then when I was talking to her and she would complain to me about something horribly stupid that he did to her I would talk crap about him back, implanting the thought that she hates his horrible guts and I am so SO SO much better than he could ever be to her.

We started making up stupid names for him and the one I remember most was M.A.W.F.U.B (motherfucking ass wipe fucked up bastard) Not soon after that name was created she left him and I remember that day so clearly because that was one of the all time happiest moments in my life.

She walked up to him after English (which I had with her) and dumped him, she wasn't nice about it either. She walked into her last period (which I also had with her, we sat next to each other) and we started writing a note back and forth like normal. I can't remember EVERYTHING that was said in that note but I remember one of us saying "blah blah KICKED THAT MAWFUB TO THE CURB!" then we talked for a while longer about a lot of nothing like normal and she asked me to be her girl... I read that and my heart soared, I had never felt like that from being asked out by someone my whole life! It was like someone from heaven reached down and touched my heart. Taking all of my worry and pain away for just a couple seconds. I said yes and so began the BEST relationship I had ever been in... Now if only I can convince her that I am best for her now also... I'll put a ring on her finger soon :)

Yup so it was funny in parts but most of it was love and romance, sorry but it looks as if I am just far too much in love to write something funny right now. Well I hope you enjoy romance crap because it looks as if you are going to be getting alot of it for a long time, and if I marry this girl then hey! you shall be getting it forever or until I decide to quit writing this blog, if more people start reading it though then maybe I wont quit it... hey a girl has to make a living some how!
