First of all, no, I'm not right. I've talked with people who have comforted me, but the feeling just doesn't go away. I'm still shaky and teary-eyed, and I hate to feel this way, but this is the way I feel. Rationalizing this situation doesn't make it better either. I appreciate the good advise of my friends, but this is a case of mobbing. Sorry, but being threatened and bullied for following due procedure only because that leaves in evidence the malpractice of others IS mobbing. I don't think that "forget it" is the right solution, nor it is booking it away because "he has always been ill mannered and nasty, and everybody knows that". Being subjected to bullying isn't something you have to accept, but I believe that what you can't definitively do is let it go without doing anything. That's irresponsible and only aids to keep this ill behavior growing bigger and stronger.
(I'm actually calling the area about labor relationships.)
^_^ I've been, again, legally advised on the matter, and so I'll take the matter in hands. Sorry, but I'm not here to be manhandled each time someone feels like it. Might have negative repercusions, like cutting back on my premission to do the thesis, which has already been signed, or the boss walking back on the last minute about my vacations, where he can really do little, since I will have the days on my favor and he can't possibly deny me of those... (specially since SNEAKY ME has an e-mail where he gave me the authorisation for the vacations, and I just printed two copies of it... just in case).
Now, the matter of the post.
News. So California and other states walked back on the Gay Marriage thing. This is ridiculous. What's wrong with you people?? It's legal, it's not legal, it's legal again, it's not legal again. Are lawmakers and legislators so irresponsible, so immature that they simply can't stick to their own decisions? They've decided once that gay people can marry, so drop the case and let them get married! But this things, that today you can, but tomorrow can't it's a clear sign of weakness.
I'm a lucky fella. I'm heterosexual, so no one would ever question my right to marry, though then again, by being a woman, I'm more on the side of being questioned about why I don't get married. (Get this, father, I don't want that burden. I'm happy alone, and I don't think on having children so that someone takes care of me in my old age.) In today's world, thanks Hyne, I can decide with whom I wish to marry. A white man, a black man, a poor man, a rich man, a young man, an old man, an artist, a professional, an employed, an unemployed... and I can decide not to get married. Today's world allows me to work and support myself, and even live like a regular het dude and have my share of one nights stands and no one will be the wiser.
I've no problem with that because I'm het and I like men, but if I were gay, the world would be bleak. Man or woman, if I were gay I would probably still avoid marriage like the pest, but there would be a stain in the whole thing, it being that actually, as a gay man or woman, I wouldn't be able to chose any other thing.
They have to fight a huge fight to get their rights acknowledged, the law passed, only to have the lawmakers walk back over the same law again. It's a never ending cycle of pointless fight.
There's one thing I'd like to know: why is it so bad for some sectors of the society that they can marry? Probably they are not gay, so why do they care? And why do they feel entitled to meddle in the lives of others? Two men, two women, adult, consenting, loving each other, why not? If the problem is that two men or two women can't make babies, the the couples where at least one of them is infertile shouldn't be called "marriage" either. No, this is actually a measure born out of hate and intolerance, and let's pray this isn't coming from no Christian group or church, since, remember, our religion praises love, and it's based on love, as churches and every single flyer preeches.
Why laws and societies make a point out of bullying the small, the weak, the one that represents no threat, but lets the real evil grow and flourish?
