They legalized same-sex marriage and it was upheld by all but one court.
The Supreme Court is reviewing the law. I think it'd be hysterical if they found the law to be unconstitutional and then made it so that it was legal countrywide. It'd be ironic too, because the whole thing originated from Utah, home of the crazy anti-gay Mormons.

Oh hai mark
Yeah. I'm intrigued too.

I just want Florida and Colorado to legalize same-sex marriage already because I'm going to be in either one of those states when I do get married.
Not that I have anyone to marry anyways D:

I live in florida now... It's a mess. We have two seasons, hot and hotter. Road rage is a serious problem and because of that insurance is extremely expensive. Lax EPA standards have created a precarious situation with the ground water. The water is acidic enough that it erodes the bed rock. Companies pump out the ground water and sell it around the country. This creates pockets of emptiness which eventually turn into sink holes.
There are almost no labor rights here and we have a legal system which favors the rich immensly. Land prices are rediculous and the education system is one of the worst in the country. On the flip side our healthcare system is pretty good thanks to all the elderly. You'll pay through the nose for it though.
As to gay marriage in Florida? It will never happen by legislative process, and not by the state courts. Despite having more left/liberal voters than right/conservatives, Florida remains dominantly Republican. They've been in power long enough that they've redrawn the districts in their favor. It would take a democratic super majority to root them out.

I live in the Netherlands and I'm so happy that people can marry whoever they want here 
I will never get married but I absolutely believe everyone should have the right to marry their true love and than it shouldn't matter if they are gay/lesbian/transgender/any other sexual orientation. Love is love and that isn't restricted to gender, race or age.

Seriously. I hate it here. It was cold last week. Now today was blazing. Not cool. The water thing was gross. Didn't want to know that..
Also there is seriously too much old people here and for whatever reason they all smell like they roll around in poop before going out in public. There's also nothing to do here in Pinellas county. Super boring.
I just wanna move. Ugh

*holds hand* we could like...totally get coffee sometime.
I don't like coffee..
This is the only time I will be raging, but..
Has anybody ever said something along the lines of "so you decided to be gay?"
I hate it when people say that. I mean, DECIDE? It's like they think it was your own choice.
As if, given the choice, you would chose to be the one that didn't fit in, the one that no one understands. As if you asked to be bullied. So ignorant!

I hate those questions. I got them all the time in high school. All they have to do is apply it to themselves and then they will realize how pointless their questions are. Haha I hate when virgin straight guys ask "how do you know you like guys if you never did it with a girl?" And I'm just like neither have you..

Do any of you live in areas where people still have issues with LGBT? I haven't heard of people having issues with any of that in -years-. Around 5 years ago f****t used to be used against homosexuals and what-not, but as of the recent few years, it's come to be considered -only- a derogatory term against annoying people... or at least the areas I've lived in. I'm really happy anti-LGBT people are getting slowly pushed out of society. When I was growing up, the idea of being homosexuality was horrible.. and the fact that I liked females so much.. well I never discussed it with anyone, because I would get ridiculed by everyone, including my family. Even my friends were VERY VERY anti gay. In high school and middle school kids would pick on other's and what-not for even the slightest idea of it, and it was rarely ever mentioned.. but now it seems like everyone is becoming so open-minded to it. It's really great.

pretty much all the girls at my school say "i love gays theyre so cute" which is okay but kinda annoying?? and pretty much everyone only cares about the G in LGBT+ sadly? i mean thats good and all but...yeah. i guess no ones really homophobic around here anymore considering i live in seattle but there are still a lot of transphobia around here and no one even knows what the rest of the letters stands for.
idk i guess theyre accepted here but people still seem..uncomfortable to the idea. like i once hinted i wasnt straight (im pan) and they suddenly assumed i was lesbian and thought i had a crush on one of them and it was really annoying? i guess people are becoming more open minded but they seem so shocked. idk if u get what im saying??

I'm straight, but I have friends and people who I consider family who are bi and gay. So I support it
Not to mention I'm a supporter of Equal Rights in general

The stigma against gays has always been worse than that of bi's and lesbians. It bothers me that the transgendered don't get as much face time, as theyre the most disenfranchised of the group. Another sad reality is that this is very much still a mans world. Women have risen to great heights, but theres still so much more we need to do. I dislike putting labels with equality because everyone deserves equality and to be free of discrimination.
I think the ones who don't get face time at all are asexuals (I feel sick whenever I hear people not knowing what the A even stands for. Tho I do educate them everytime in good manners, but still).
I have a friend who used to be transgender, they recently came out to me and said that they don't want to be one anymore. And the reason why they were transgender to begin with was because their crush was also transgender and was gay. So my friend wanted to get their crush's attention by starting to be trans and be the gender their crush was attracted to. It kind of made me have bit mixed feelings because you should NEVER do such things just to impress someone else. You are doing it for YOU. I'm totally okay with exploring, that's what I did and how I found myself (well I think I found myself haha). But when it's not for yourself but for someone else, it's not right. Like yeah you can be what you want and you don't need to undergo hormones or surgeries to "be trans" but when you are doing it for someone else, you're just pretending to be something you're not. It's like a gay guy insisting to be straight (maybe not the best example but first to come in mind).
I also had another friend who was trans just because they thought it was cooler than being cis and people would like them better if they were trans. Which was just plain stupid reason to "be trans". They are now cis. But they also were pretending. I just?? Can't wrap my head around it. And they have said with their OWN MOUTH that it was "cool to be trans". I would have understood it better if they were exploring gender and all, but it wasn't that even that. This friend was also super depressed when they were being trans (which I can understand but... It was different from dysphoric depression). Now they are not depressed almost at all and I know they haven't gone to any sort of treatment for depression. They didn't want to go. Another sign that they were not happy with their "trans identity" to me. But as I said, I'm happy that they are happy now.
And one thing, I hate calling myself queer. I'm super okay if you want to call you queer, but if someone calls me queer I just... snap. I don't like it, I don't like the word, I just... Can't stand being called that. No idea why since I AM queer if I have understood the term right. I try to distance myself from that term as much as possible. I also don't like calling myself trans, I don't do it in public at all because it makes me anxious. I like being stealth, I like when people think I'm cis (it makes me feel whole lot better because damn straight I wished I was cis so I wouldn't have all these damn problems). On internet it's much easier because I'm most likely not going to EVER meet any of the people I tell this. So I don't need to worry about being outed in public by someone (it's a huge fear of mine and it has happened, thanks to ignorant friends).
tl;dr - being trans is not "cool" and I don't like being called queer, no idea why

Like seriously, why do people need to say such things? My friend always says that "if someone doesn't like apples, do people keep telling them that 'You just haven't had THE apple yet so you can't know that you don't like them'" hehe.
I have no idea why they say those things but I totally agree with that friend But I think it's just that people don't know and don't WANT to know. Just the idea people have that being asexual means you can't fall in love or can't be in a relationship. Sometimes I explain it but only to people who really care and really want to know
