It would appear that some clarification is in order. Somebody I thought wasn’t even interested in me anymore and didn’t read my blog anymore said that she “is deeply saddened by the passing of Prop 8, but does not accept the bigotry directed toward her as a newly engaged straight person.” (I assume this was in reference to last night’s post, but I don’t know if she actually read that or if it’s coincidental.)

First of all, let me say that “bigotry” is not what I was expressing yesterday. That is called “jealousy.” I have never said that straight people shouldn’t get married, only that I hate hearing about it because I am jealous. I think it would be really nice if straight people waited to get married until gay marriage was legal, but that’s probably unrealistic. I am jealous, not bigoted.

I am not anti-straight people. Some of my best friends are straight people. I am a teensy bit anti-straight people getting married, but not much. I am anti-hearing about your wedding because it makes me cranky and bitter that I can’t marry the woman I’ve been with for almost 11 years. And this doesn’t even mean that you shouldn’t talk about it or tell me about it or whatever. It just means that it makes me bitchy. Okay? Thank you.

Added: Turns out she wasn’t responding to me. She’s having conversations with other people instead. I was right, she doesn’t follow me anymore. It was just really crazy timing, I guess.
