i know what freedom is.

obviously everyone's heard about maine.. maybe noone cried over it the way i did but godamn it kinda hurts. and people were so happy that it passed. people were literally jumping out of their seats with their hallelujah bibles and their rosary nooses and saying that it was god's will.

i think it's god's will for us to live freely. i think god wants all of us, whether we live the "good, Christian" life or we live "in irreperable sin". how i live shouldn't be allowed to be dictated by people who have nothing to do with it. as a gay man living in maine points out, these people aren't changed by Q1 passing... they'll get up and go to work and mow their lawns in their cul-de-sac just like any other day. it's our lives, our freedoms that are being pushed to the side and disregarded, quoted as abnormal unnatural and disgusting.

i know what freedom is.i've seen it. i've danced with it to no  music. i've sat with it and held hands when everyone was against it. i sang stupid songs with it and called it mine and everyone else's. i talked with it and held it but... i lost it. somehow. it may have been on the west coast or the streets of main or maybe new jersey... and everyone knew. they are flooding the streets, looking for my and their freedom. they are saying no to injustice and fighting for the simplicity of being.

america, you have broken my heart.
