Je suis venu, j'ai vu, et j'ai cru

I've never been much of an activist at all, but one day when the circumstances are right, I hope to be able to become much more involved in the gay rights movement.

Just a few days ago, I was reading an article on BBC News about plans by the Aussie government to oppose new laws legalizing gay civil unions. I don't know why but I got kinda unglued by the end of the article. I don't think I felt the same way when I came across similar articles before.

I just feel that all we're asking for is to be able to love and be loved, and if we don't make a stand for something as pure as that, we would be eroding the hard-earned liberties that the generation before us fought so untiringly for by our very own inaction.

I also heard over the radio that the courts in Massachusetts have ruled that unions between out-of-state men would not be considered legal. While this is certainly unwelcome news, I still want to say go Mass!
