how nice for you, that you don't care what people who tried to kill you were thinking or why, and that you believe that the who people choose to love is irrelevant....when it took a supreme court case to get marriage equality and even now there are attempts nationwide to roll back marriage equality, and when people are in actual fact singled out for being different all the time.
How cute if you've never had a boss vote for a state amendment banning SSM and admit he had no secular basis for it - mind you, my boss was a lawyer as well and we went to the same law school. How nice if you've never been followed or harassed or threatened for holding your spouse's hand in public. Etc.
How special that you literally want to tell someone who has been singled out for being LGBT and attacked because of it that her being LGBT is "irrelevant." That's pretty astounding.
I'm not a LEO or a soldier. If you think my holding hands with my spouse is "asking for it," then we've nothing to discuss. I'd love to be just one couple among others, one woman among others, but my lived experience teaches me things yours doesn't seem to have taught you. My clients have taught me much as well.
The reason i spoke up in the thread is, i have items to defend my home despite our being law abiding people because people like us get singled out for violence. Simple as. Take it or leave it, i dgaf.
