Marriage Equality





This is the first time I've ever been a part of a rally (thing) outside the Capitol, and it is also the first that I've sat in on a hearing. 

So for the past few days there has been a hearing about the Hawaii Gay Marriage Bill, at the HI State Capitol, in the auditorium. There was and has been thousands to testify about the Bill. 

Same-sex marriage is still yet a topic of argument, even in this day and age. Which I find kinda horrifying, and more than anything sad. Gay people are PEOPLE. And I don't see how they are stripped the right to marry someone they choose and love, just due to the gender of their partner. Everyone, at least in this country is born equal. And without a doubt should have equal rights and opportunities, this being one.

 I grew up in a big yet full house, that consisted of my family: my parents, siblings, and gay aunties and uncles.  This untraditional household is probably something that many may not have been raised in. But I was and am more than grateful to have had them all play a huge part in my upbringing. By helping to take care of and support me, since I was in like 2nd grade. Being a "scaredycattt" can apply to many things, just not my ability to stand up for the people I love, what I think is right and what I believe in. And this is one.

With that said, I proudly and strongly support this Bill for same-sex marriage.
