Apology

[kellydeer.livejournal.com]

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with B/J fic, but I just wanted to apologize to everyone on behalf of the ignorance of my home state (NC) that we were unable to defeat the amendment on the primary ballot which states that marriage should only be between one man & one woman.

Please know that I was one of the 34% that voted against the damn thing!!!

I, too, am from N.C. and have been bombarded by news coverage about this amendment.

But it is not your place to apologize...it is the place of everybody who feels its their place to tell others how to love and live. If someone wants to officially commit to their partner, why is that so offensive to anyone else. To change a bit of a Brian quote, "If I'm not marrying you, it's none of your business."

Really shocked...being in NE TN, NC is usually are cool, hip neighbor...Asheville, Wilmington, etc.

Disillusioned, but yes... used the the Brian quote a lot this week, if I am not marrying/fucking you....

Asheville... er, the county it's in, I forget... was one of the places (8 out of l00 counties) that voted against. I live in Wilmington, and New Hanover let me down and voted for. Which I don't get, because everywhere I go around here is covered in "vote against" signs. Although I did drive past a church this morning that had "vote for amendment one" on its big churchy sign where they usually put Bible quotes and such.

Was my first time flipping off a church.
