This is what it all boils down to

This is what upsets me so much, to see the animosity of certain people towards gays. To be so opposed to gay marriage, opposed to people making a commitment of love, of stability.

The mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsom, has said:

"I see a world that I saw over the course of this weekend where people were literally ... coming together because they have been in a loving relationship for decade after decade, and they want the same privileges and rights and obligations that were extended to my wife and I."

"That's the kind of world that I want to live in. That's the kind of world that I think the constitution of the state of California, for that matter, the U.S. Constitution, provides and protects."

A world that I thought existed when I was a child, when things felt good, when the world felt like it was of a whole. A place that upholds happiness and goodness. And I equate love with goodness. People supporting one another in becoming the best they can be.

Perhaps there *is* hope. Perhaps it *is* only a matter of time before everyone will have equal rights. And...someday I hope...we will not only *just* peacefully coexist, but actually live in true harmony.
