i understand that it didn't change anything for gays in florida, but there are two things at work here brah. first off, it's an amendment that has been added to the constitution, which is always hard to appeal. there is now an extremely slim chance that gays can ever marry in florida. fuck, now they have no hope of adoption now, either. also, it makes it so that, should a gay or lesbian couple be married elsewhere, the state refuses to recognize it.
then there's the other aspect of amendment 2. this affects everyone, gay, bi, or straight. amendment 2 makes it so that, should someone be in a relationship, they cannot stay with, and in some cases, cannot even visit their partner (i hate that word, but i'm using it as a broad term for the sake of this). that's so fucked up. and, of course, the fuckin religious right was so concerned with making sure the gays can't get married that they did some shady practices for get this bill to bass. not many peoples know that amendment 2 also bans peoples from visiting and staying at the hospital with the person they're in a relationship with. this is bullshit, and i'm kinda ashamed for be living in florida. and peoples wonder why me and my friends from back on o'ahu call peoples down here floridiots.
they are so not in the closet in the palm beach/broward/miami-dade tri-county area. these three counties are home to the nation's "gayest" neighborhoods. and i know they're registered to vote, because they've elected openly gay officials, and they've voted to improve areas in wilton manors, which is ft. laudydaudy's largest gay city. i dunno about the self-loathing republican part though
