Quoted: Days of Future Past by Ryan Joseph Lopez
"You just can't debate with crazy, or practically anyone anymore. The
world is changing for the better, but some people just can't accept
that. All they have left to hold on to are their beliefs. When those
once common ideas are now considered outdated, irrational and even
hateful, and can be justly proven so, people get angry and desperate and
will fight to the very end to protect an ideology that they hold
sacred. It's an unfortunate sign of the most conservative parts of the
Republican party. Never give up, never surrender, never admit you're
wrong, just keep screaming nonsense until you drown out your opponent
and every last one of his facts. Well I have a few facts to share
myself: Gay people can get married without the sky falling or your
family being affected in anyway, shape or form aside from the
possibility of them not sharing your homophobic hate. Black people can
be in charge of a country that once considered them property. Being a
Liberal is not the same thing as being weak. Trust me. We fight against
income inequality in the Occupy Movement. We fight for the right to
unionize in Wisconsin, Indiana, Arizona and any other states controlled
by a Republican majority that wishes for it to be a "right to work"
state. We fight for the health of our women when conservative wolves in
pink sheep's clothing attempt to break down Planned Parenthood. And we
fight for our right to marry the person we love to not only receive the
same benefits that everyone else gets, but to also simply show that we
are no different from any straight couple and hence should not be
treated differently as such. California is another footstep in the
marathon that is the fight for marriage equality and gay rights
everywhere. We will continue fighting. We are not weak. We are stronger
than ever and we will fight for Obama this year and we will win. We
must. This country needs to show the world that we stand for common
sense, compassion and an ability to inspire hope in others by getting
back up after being knocked down hard. Screaming at the top of your
lungs until you can't hear the facts just won't do for this country of
ours, and neither will defeat, hatred, or the desire to divide. We can
come together to make sure our country continues to succeed and head in
its' current, correct direction. We can vote for Obama 2012, because
hope is nothing without people to believe in it and change is impossible
without people to fight for it."
