Re: Pet Peeves

Be happy for a while, folks! ... And while I'm not going to tell LGBT people that's how they should feel,...

Well, you are. In fact, your post is an example of why some of us are making a point of talking about JOSHUA (which was announced on Thursday for fuck's sake), ENDA, suicides in our community, bathroom bills, and other stuff.

We can walk and chew gum. We can celebrate this and still be mad about that. There is no conflict between declaring Obergefell a national LGBT holiday, and confronting other forms of discrimination that Obergefell does not address.

Oh come the fuck on. Can't I have a day to be happy that something is good? That I can now marry my girlfriend if I want? There are so many other days that I was sad/upset/hurt/mad about one thing or another, and I'm sure there will be many future days that I will be sad/upset/hurt/mad. Can't I have one day to be happy about something? Why do I have to "walk and chew gum", to "celebrate this and still be mad about that"? There are a million days in the future to do that. JFC.

Be happy. I'm happy.

But let other people have their space to continue to talk about things that are not Obergefell.

The whole point of this section is that some people think we SHOULDN'T walk and chew gum. They think we shouldn't be happy AT ALL because there's still work to be done. You know what? Fuck them, because I just don't have the energy to be fucking miserable every single fucking second of my life. I want to be able to experience some joy every now and fucking then instead of having to act like a dour wannabe martyr. There's just no point in living or fighting if we're never allowed to be happy, ever, even when we win a battle.

I see an equal number of people who say that we SHOULDN'T walk and chew gum, that we should shut up about things that are not Obergefell because you're celebrating.

Be happy. I'm happy. But I'm not going to stop talking about what I have to deal with on Monday morning. If you don't want to participate in those discussions, you don't have to.

uhmmm. "Folks" is a general statement for everybody. Not directed at any group in particular.

I'm not sure what the point of the rest of your comment is since I even made a point of saying that it's important to recognize when a fight isn't over, and I definitely never said it was over. And I also never said you can't feel more than one emotion at once. My comment came from a place of seeing some people basically refusing to celebrate at all, which made me kind of sad, and isn't just unique to this event, but something I see a lot when major events happen - people can't just slow down and treat the event for what it was, happy or sad, even just for a day.
