Folks, you are letting the bigots in this thread pull this into the sandbox in which they like to play: performing mental gymnastics and railing against intolerance of being intolerant. Forget them, they aren't worth your time.
I wanted to write a great post on what this means to me as a queer person, but I'm tired. I'm tired of having to wonder if that new restaurant in town would be a good place to take a guy on a date. I'm tired of wondering if some delta-bravo at the Dome will dump a beer on me again and call us ######s if do a quick snuggle because the game is going well. I'm tired of wondering who is safe to share personal news with, and who isn't. I could go on.
Because I'm tired, I'll let a random canucks blogger say some things, it's worth reading as it's from the heart, and it lets you know why this matters. It shows a bit of what I have go through my head because I choose to wake up and live my life as myself every day.
