1) Let the governors fuck (and love) whoever they want, please. What matters is how they rule, not who they choose for things that are nobody else’s business, anyway. Monitoring other people’s love (and sex) lives started with good ol’ monotheistic church, and has been happily exploited since by all sorts of totalitarian and semi-totalitarian political systems. The only thing it says to me….but what else is new (*yawn*).
2) But really, if people were not created as for-life-monogamous creatures, who in the crying hell came up with the nauseating idea of criminalizing those who follow their God given nature? Again, the stupid church (and whoever adopted its five e-z steps of enslaving normal people). I am not saying that it’s not possible to do (being monogamous for life, that is), but it is only healthy when it’s by choice. I think there is more crime in staying in a loveless relationship than in following one’s heart. I swear. It’s not the lover who should be criminalized, but the system that makes it so freaking hard to be normal.
3) The term “gay pride”, when used seriously, still pisses me off, as it does every year. What’s there to be proud of? No, no, no, I have no problem with gays at all, as a matter of fact, I fooled around with girls myself, and it’s lovely. But in my mind pride is associated with an individual or communal achievement, not with a biological feature such as having two hairy arms or being gay. Even animals can be homosexual, so?
4) Therefore, I suggest to replace the term “gay pride” with the term “fuck all”. Residents of the UK may be excused.
5) And no, I don’t want to blog about my car accident. It happened, I was very very fortunate, the movie is still in my head but it’s one of those things. It’s my movie.

1) + 2) Yes, people should be free to love who they wish, that’s not the issue with the governors. The problem with them is their proclamations of complete and strict devotion to Christian family values prior to their display of blatant disregard thereof.
Loving people is not a problem, being a hypocrite is.
3) + 4) I think the achievement to be proud of in this case is overcoming the fear of social rejection and coming to terms with one’s nature. If having hairy arm was generally frowned upon, ridiculed, discriminated against and otherwise persecuted, admitting to everyone that you have hairy arms and being able to openly display them would be a considerable achievement. Hopefully it won’t be so difficult to be openly gay eventually and then the “pride” thing will gradually lose its meaning and disappear.
