I'm still a little surprised by how much it upsets me but whatever. I learned form another blogger, (http://www.sisterfriends-together.org/fat-lady-singing/) that there is already a case before the supreme court to stop or overturn Prop 8 on the grounds that it's not a constitutional amendment, but a revision to the constitution and that the procedure for such wasn't followed. Hopefully, that case will at least stay the enactment of Prop 8 if not overturn it. Of course that just means that the "bad guys" will try again but every little bit helps. Thank you for that!

I am a native Californian although I live in Oregon. But what affects one part of us, affects us all! I am hoping that somehow... at some point... this can be remedied!

Honestly, in the moment I didn't believe it was happening. It seemed like I was surely missing something. It wasn't till later talking to Deb (therapist) that I realized how obvious it sounded. I kinda wish I knew what was in his mind. Was he feeling just as doubtful and insecure as I was? I mean it was a pretty sideways way to make a flirtatious comment. And then what was he thinking when I didn't respond? Sadly, I'm not likely to see him again, so I guess I'll just have to chalk this one up to experiences/lessons learned. Thanks for the good advice.

Gay is gay right? Imagine you were me, and he was a hot firefighter... Come to think of it... he was a hot firefighter... but for your purposes, pretend he wasn't a he. :) I wasn't at all convinced that it was even anything until tonight when I was telling my Therapist about it and she was like, "For future reference when a guy tells you that you have gorgeous eyes....." It's just that, being new to this whole thing I just don't know how I should have/could have reacted to this. And I'd hate to miss another opportunity. I don’t know. Gay is gay right?
