I just wanted to post a short congratulations to Minnesota for permitting same-sex marriage. I was super happy to hear about this. However, we have so far to go, just in the U.S., let alone around the world. But I am happy that Minnesota is joining Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa!!! (my state!), Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Washington DC. I wish it weren't just to permit same-sex marriages, but to just state EVERYONE is equal and that marriage is one of those rights. I shouldn't complain though, at least it is a step in the right direction. Decisions like this help to increase my faith in humanity, however, they also remind me that people still believe they are superior to others since we have to pass laws that actually state these. I would like it if I could start a petition, EQUAL RIGHTS FOR EVERYONE IN AMERICA (prefer the WORLD, but I'll settle for one country at a time) and get as many people to sign it as possible and give it over to congress and say, "See?!" You guys represent us and this many people want this to happen, so make it happen! Wouldn't that be awesome? I'll keep dreaming, along with a lot of other people, that one day Martin Luther King's dreams will come true and we can all walk side by side as equals.
