Alone

Some days are so dark. You don't know where to turn, what to think, what to do anymore. If you look too large, you see the pall that has covered the world. If you look too far in, you see the sadness that seems constantly ready to burst out from inside you. Sometimes life is like a game of finding the perfect focus point where you don't see either the big picture or the small picture.
"Reverend" Jerry Falwell declared a "Evangelical Revolution" today. It promotes an anti-abortion, anti-gay rights, anti-liberal agenda and he vows to harness the huge amount of born-agains in this country to further conservative, far right agendas.
I'd just like to throw in my two cents to anybody who reads this:
Being gay is not a choice. It can't be a choice. It's not a "deformity" and it doesn't have a cure. It doesn't need a cure. For a man to love another man, for a woman to love another woman, is that such a crime? What is wrong with loving somebody? For anybody to find the person they love, and to know that that is the person they want to spend the rest of their life with, is a goal that everybody should try to reach. And in the end, what does it matter if it's the same sex as you? How on earth does that affect anybody else?
Face the truth: the "sanctity" of marriage has already been shattered by countless divorces, adulterers, and lecherers. And in the end, there was nothing "sacred" in the word marriage besides the hope, the prayer, that the word contained a form of love. To promote love, in all its forms. So to those who fear for a sanctity that never existed, remind yourself that you are destroying a higher truth - love.
Some days are so dark in this world. I am alone in a endless wind opposing me in every turn, and huddled against the chill all I can see is the dark clouds on the horizon. Yet I trudge on, moving slowly to a light I know is there, past the storm. Hope is the only thing that keeps me walking forward; hope that someday it will get better. Because I know it will.

Erik I agree with your comments on gay marriages 100%. And hoping is all you can do. Dont ever loose hope, without hope, the world would be so much worse than it is.

I'm not entirely sure when I started writing this for your entertainment. Especially considering I have no idea who you are. *sigh* I'm sorry I use so many clichès, I'll keep that in mind next time I'm writing. And thank you for reading my blog, even if you didn't like it. I've read yours. It's dark. Black backgrounds and white text is hard to read, and its interesting to talk to me of clichès when your entire blog is about suicide. Despite that, I don't think you want to die. Feel free to talk to me any time you want somebody to talk to. Comment here and I'll see it. Thanks again for reading.
Have a nice life.

I don't understand how one marriage can affect another. People say that if same sex marraige is legal, it will 'ruin your marriage!' It's not like if anyone can marry whoever they want to, people who are already married will start changing their minds about being in their current relationship. It won't change anything for people who are already married, just for people who want to be married. Clearly you already know all of what I just said, this is just my form of agreement. I'm glad Massachusetts now allows gay marraige and I can only hope that the other states are soon to follow. I may be straight, but it doesn't mean I don't support gays. You're not alone, Erik.
