I am very fortunate none of those bills would affect me or my husband, but what really scares me, is they will affect GLBT youth, the disenfranchised, and those who are "on the edge". Though, of all the other things I listed, sadly, Oklahoma is affected by those lack of rights. I am usually the "worrywart" in my house. If I can imagine something bad happening, I have seen it, planned for it, and expect it; even if it never comes. When Oklahoma was finally cleared for "gay" marriage, it was my husband who was worried. What would happen when it was announced in the paper? It made me so sad and angry that someone who is usually so carefree and happy was worried about something which was supposed to be a happy occasion.

He got over it. Now, he's mine!

I just hope people see things aren't over. There is still much to do in the way of GLBT equality.
