I was pointed to a video titled "8." This video is actually a play, written by Dustin Lance Black, and it features the transcript of the trial and such from the fight against Proposition 8. This trial was never aired on television, and so people were not allowed to see the history being made when the judge (played by Brad Pitt) ruled that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional. And while I'm sure the transcript was a little bit embellished (surely the supporters of Prop 8 are not that bumbling or idiotic) to make a little bit humorous, I am so glad I got to watch the fight for something that I wholeheartedly believe in.

As many of you may or may not know, I'm not quite straight (however, I'm currently questioning my orientation simply because I don't know where I fit in), and marriage equality for everyone is something that needs to be obtained as soon as possible. The lawyer, Mr. Boyce (played by George Clooney), gives very compelling arguments to fight the supporters' statements. He gives proof and logic to his arguments, where the other side does not. They try to present their side, I understand, but they completely fail to do so. They talk in circles, and reword previous statements to fit what they want to say. John C. Reilly (who plays Mr. Blankenhorn) accentuates what I'm saying perfectly, in that he tries to argue "I can't say what I want to say" and when he's given the chance to say it, he forgets the question and makes no attempt to answer the question when it is asked. He blows a lot of hot air, and that's about it.

Now, my dear friends, I bid you to watch this astounding video.

If you're still reading, let me clarify what I meant earlier when I said I was questioning myself. I know for a fact that I am not straight, as I have found myself attracted to females, sexually, and not sexually. I can also still appreciate when a male is physically attractive to me, but I have no interest in ever having sex with them. That may change, it may not. But for now, I don't know. So if you have any idea what word might fit me, please let me know. I'm so confused about it, and I can't really talk to my family for fear of what happened last May happening again.

I'd appreciate any comments or notes pertaining to this situation (the video, my questions, etc...).
