(Acetone transfer of handwriting) I want to marry a woman too... Although I'm far from engaged, I think of these fears as well.

There's nothing quite like being closeted in a Catholic middle school. So much love behind a plaid uniform, so delicate. As summer break approaches every year, I feel more and more free - sunshine brings warmth and strength. 'School's out', so am I.

I remember listening to my partner (my fiance) pleading with her family not to vote for this man, this regime. I remember how I thought she succeeded & how wrong I turned out to be. I remember how pleased they seemed when he won, and how it felt like a punch to the gut. These are the same people we called the night I proposed, the same people who said they were so happy for us, the same people who are going to sit at our wedding having voted for politicians who claim our right to marry is a mistake they intend to correct.
