Scary times ahead?
I'm not a very political person. I mean, I pay attention to what's going on, and I vote, but I can't hold a debate on who did what to whom and when.
But I can tell you that I am afraid of the upcoming election. I know that Obama has said he would do things and hasn't. I know that some of the things he's done, people don't agree with. I also know that the state of the economy hasn't improved as it should have, either.
But I also know that the other guy is worse.
As far as I'm concerned, anyway.
And I know that I'm pissing some people off, and that is exactly why I don't talk politics. But If Romney wins, I will seriously consider moving to Canada. All the headway the gay community has made over the past few years will be erased. Religion will be a major part of the office (as it has in the race already), and that in itself will reverse any forward motion we've made.
I don't know what will happen come November, but I know that I'm nervous about it.
America, the land of the free . . . it won't be for everyone. Not those who want to share their lives with the ones they love if they happen to be of the same sex.
