From what I’ve read, the chances that Prop 8 and DOMA are to be struck down are just barely ahead of the opposition.

And I’m sorry, but I’m so fucking hoping that they do get struck down. Just once, I’d like to have the childish naivete to believe that “the good guys” will prevail, and it’ll be justice for all and shit.

I know there is probably someone in the exact same passionate mood of barely-suppressed tension and fear who stands at the opposite end of this argument, so what I’m saying can basically be made null and void.

But if this shit happens? If Prop 8 vanishes and DOMA is taken down? Then maybe I can start having faith in the US again. That maybe not everyone is a homophobic, narrow-minded, sexist, racist… fuck it, that maybe not everyone is an evangelical piece of white trash.

I wanna know that two of my best friends ever who lives states apart from each other can eventually live their lives together, without fear of oppression or repercussion. In my eyes, their love is more real than any other relationship, hetero or otherwise, that I have ever seen. Should they really be kept apart because of a stupid book?

So I’m so, so hoping that everything goes down in our favor. I legitimately have hope that this could work out, even if it’s a 50/50 chance of success at best.

Can I please just have my hope justified, if only this once?
