My heart breaks- I am constantly reminded that being a member of the gay community, and its ramifications are a full time job. At the same time that the supreme court has ruled that it cannot grant a same sex divorce(in a state that has more gays per sq mile then san francisco), a 25 year old trans man has ended his participation in the special olympics after many years because he changed for a basketball game in what the director considered the wrong bathroom, and told him that next time police would be escorting him out.
Now we have two women floating through legal pergatory, and a man who must chose one community over another.
With a system that dishes out these pains on a daily basis its no wonder that one in three gay teens attempt suicide.
WHere does it end? Sometimes I feel that progress is only measured by each day the members of the queer commmunity manage to stay breathing.
The land of the free isn't free for everyone-
Its no wonder Ive considered moving to amsterdam
