new legislation

Thursday, the Supreme Court of California, in a 4-3 decision ruled that loving, committed gay and lesbian couples in California cannot be denied a civil marriage license.  This made me start thinking about things in the US government that might change while my friends are gone for a year. I mean they are going to come back and we will have a new president (are you 2 absentee voting?) and God willing I hope it will be either a woman or an African American! I mean that is a huge deal, a turning point and milestone in "US" politics...Correct me if I'm wrong but women have been runnin' the UK for a long, long time but apparently the backward-minded, uneducated, close minded HONKEYS from the middle of this country can seem to grasp the concept of "equal rights" HELLO...wake up and smell the superiority of estrogen already. Ok Ok so maybe I went a little far in saying we are superior but we definitely are capable of running this country better than George W. Bush.  So this news about California legalizing gay marriage comes but only 2 days before the 25th annual Long Beach Gay Pride Parade.  So guess what I did this weekend, I attended the festivities along Ocean & Shoreline on Saturday and Sunday! To tell you the truth it wasn't as outrageous as I had expected. It was like the OC fair except all gay (minus the carni rides) You have the booths and the booze and the food and the music.  And it was hot, like 90 degrees hot, ick.  I do like people watching so there was a lot of that to be done there and I do love me some gay boys in tight designer boxer briefs, but only saw one pair of titties and I don't even think they were real.  I did drink and get drunk, but I'm a sentimental drunk and on Sunday in the middle of hundreds of thousands of people surrounding me and not to mention the 5 other people I went with and was hanging out with, I felt an overwhelming feeling of loneliness. I want...no I NEED, to be with some people who KNOW me. Who know my life history, who have been around me and accept me for all the good and bad qualities that I am. The friends that I don't have to explain myself to because they know what I am all about. It's a good thing I had sunglasses on cause I was crying in the middle of what should have been a happy, fun and gay occasion. HaHa I know, cheesy. So now the real question...can any of my friends piece together my thought process on my picture choice for this blog? I'll send a care package if you can read my mind!
