I saw my friend Jon post this video on facebook and I just about peed my pants. Prop 8 being ruled unconstitutional is stirring a whirlwind of backlash and reactions. Thankfully to balance all the ridiculous stupid shit said by ignorant people, a plethora of parody videos commenting about gay marriage are starting to emerge as they usually do.

It's so ridiculous and at the same time incredibly disheartening. I am a larger than life 'Molicious drag queen and therefore have become accustomed to stares and tactless commentary from random strangers. However, some of the hateful comments I have heard cross the boundaries of simple ignorance or disagreement on family values and has altered into an all out BRAWL. I wrote this comment on an article for the RGJ about the history of marriage and how same sex marriages have existed in cultures around the world. An individual then responded stating that I don't know what I am talking about and that I must be suffering from HIV dementia. I usually have a pretty tough skin but for whatever reason that comment just struck me. The insensitivity of this person's feeling toward an epidemic that has taken millions of lives - straight people, gay people, men, women, of all colors and creeds - is appalling. My hope that soon this will just be another dark chapter in the history of the United States. One that years from now we will look back on with shame for it happening and gratitude that we no longer find ourselves in it. There is a storm that is coming, a cultural backlash is on the horizon, it will just be interesting to see which way the wind blows.
