I wrote this diary a day ago and everyone said it was premature. Well, I had faith. And now I'm celebrating! Here's my diary again. Celebrate with me!
i can't believe that this saturday i am going to witness the first real step forward for civil rights in this country in my entire lifetime!! FINALLY!!!
this is the kind of thing that i think really changes the heart and soul of this country. the less we treat each other like second class citizens the less we let others treat us that way. the rich only get away with behaving like they matter more than everyone else because we let them. and we have only let them because of our fundamental belief that some people deserve more than others. well, ending dadt will help change that belief in this country.
as mlk said, and i paraphrase, injustice to one is injustice to everyone.
and so i say that equal rights for all is the end of classism.
Thank you everyone who work so hard for this! Thank you President Obama! Yeah, I said it! Thank you congress! Yeah, I said that too! I give credit to people for doing the right thing!
Now I'm going to go try some backflips!
