Fun trip to the eye doctor today.
Apparently my astigmatism, which has been growing progressively worse over the past six years, has done gone missing. Evaporated. Disappeared. Since I totally blamed my worsening eyesight on society's indoctrination by The Gay Agenda™, I figured I'd be completely blind by now since Washington State (and a bunch of other states) passed marriage equality and Michael Sam got drafted into the NFL as its first openly gay player.
But instead... my eyesight actually improved after Washington State (and a bunch of other states) passed marriage equality and Michael Sam got drafted into the NFL as its first openly gay player. So I guess I had it all backwards. Once marriage equality goes nation-wide and an NFL player's sexuality isn't considered news... I fully expect to get Superman's X-ray vision. Or his heat his vision. Or his microscopic vision. Or his telescopic vision. One of those visions. Maybe all of those visions.
Wow, Superman sure has a shit-ton of super-visions!
I guess that's why he's Superman.
But putting aside the fucking insane people who belief that The Gays are responsible for everything that goes wrong in the world... many happy congratulations to Michael Sam!
And his boyfriend, surely...
For the life of me, I cannot comprehend why two guys kissing caused a chunk of Americana to lose their fucking minds. Turn the channel and you've got people murdering each other... people abusing drugs... people having drunken sex... The Kardashians... and yet it's two guys kissing that makes people want to shoot their television and boycott ESPN?
"BUT, ZOMFG! THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!"
Kids only think that something is a big deal if adults make it into a big deal for them. If your children are freaking out, it's because you're making it happen. Don't go all homophobic crazy, and Michael Sam's kiss is just another kiss in a parade of thousands of kisses that happen on television every day.
Maybe people will finally be able to see that with their super-vision once we finally get an openly gay president.

This was especially humorous for such an evocative subject. I enjoyed it tremendously
One would think that at least a decade of TV shows featuring gay couples (The Wire, Six Feet Under, Brothers & Sisters, Modern Family etc…), some of which are/were even run on the major networks, and openly gay celebrities would have changed the public’s perception by now.
Pssst. My astigmatism and overall script has gotten better the past few years, too. It was horrific and it’s slightly less so every year. I thought it was a miracle, but my eye doc told me it was . . . aging. :/
Yay, equal rights!!!
I finally got around to watching that lady on the show walk off the set over the kiss and I just sat t here going really? That kiss was barely even a kiss and she got her panties all bunched over that?
I just feel sad for people who are so homophobic, how awful is your own life that you are threatened by other people’s happiness.
