This morning I was woken bright and early to be told to go to church with the rest of my family. I was not excited at all, especially since I have essays to write, but I threw on my preppy little blue sweater and proceeded on to church.
I got to church and was instantly bored, (we go to the old people service) I sat in our pew sulking wishing I was anywhere else. Our priest began rather unconventionally beginning to talk about the roots of our church (Episcopal = Gay Friendly!!!). He then brought up the elections of this year and next. Specifically, a gay marriage amendment.
For those of you who don’t know, the MN senate is trying to pass a Constitutional Amendment that defines marriage already stated in MN law the only reason this is being made is that anti-gay lawmakers want to make it very hard to legalize gay marriage in Minnesota. In my opinion, I think people are making this because they feel that times are changing so they want to make it very hard change. It is a amendment based off of ignorance, homophobia, and stubbornness. The bill passed earlier this year and is going to be voted on in the 2012 presidential election. I will be 18 and voting against it and rallying against it as much as possible.
Anyway, at church the priest told us of the amendment and that that our church shouldn’t support such a law and that all glbt are children of god. I loved that he said that, not only did it make me feel accepted, almost the entire congregation should be voting against this awful amendment. It gives me hope!
Enough of the political stuff, I hope everyone’s Halloweekend was spectacular. I dressed up as a 80s workout guy/gay
