some bullshit about gay marriage and gillard
Writing a tumblr post about gay marriage may be the most redundant thing of all time because basically everyone on tumblr supports gay marriage. Right? Imagine using tumblr and being against gay marriage in 2011. What the actual fuck. So yeah, this is mostly about wtf are you doing Gillard and the fact I haven’t written anything besides fucking ad copy for a month pretty much.
Firstly Gillard, I don’t even believe you’re against gay marriage. If you were against it, cool fine (not fine), you’re entitled to stick by your beliefs but the thing is, you’re not against this. If you weren’t the Prime Minister, if you weren’t vying to win the next election, then you would be supporting gay marriage; as the majority of your party seems to. Probably. I mean, I don’t know! This whole issue is the ridiculous.
Gillard! You’re driving me crazy! What even is your stance? Your not against gay marriage except that… you are? You’re allowing others to make up your mind for you and your pandering to homophobic voters. Fuck’s sake. Everyone knows politics is gross and basically void of any real aspiration (probably) but gross; gay marriage should not be an issue. We should get to stop talking about it. You should take some proper action, change the marriage act, see a minority celebrate a final step towards equality and sit back and watch as same sex marriage becomes accepted and nothing else fucking happens. Really, after the first few weeks of adorable photos of queers getting their marriage on the country is going to go back normal, people who were against gay marriage are going to forget they were against it and the people for it will attend marriages of their queer friends and relatives. Or maybe they’ll even get married to their same sex partners.
So pretty much shut up, Gillard. If you’re not going to do anything then stop pretending you care. You can’t pander to both sides of this argument because one side is rational and striving for equality, while another is bigoted and misguided. If Gillard was reading this (she never would obviously) I’d tell her to woman up (cool saying) and stand up for what she knows is right. I’m not going to change her mind about gay marriage being okay, because she already knows it is.
how good is the future? pretty good.
Kind of annoyed this tumblr has become read by SO MANY people that I know. Kind of. I dunno. Never really meant for that to happen but okay cool, it’s not like blogging should be thought to be private at all anyway because the Internet.
Gonna write about my problems (they aren’t problems) because sometimes it helps me find solutions (it usually doesn’t). Mostly this isn’t a problem really but this is probably the first time in pretty much ever that I do not have any plans for my future. Like, my future has always been this murky thing that wasn’t really planned but within the grey it had some goals such as ‘finish uni!’ and ‘go overseas!’. I did those things and great! They were great! I’m glad I did both but now that I have done them what am I supposed to do? Okay, yeah getting a job is probably the best idea but also get a job where? As in, what city/town/village/place.
I was so keen to only live in Melbourne last week, it was my only option, but now I dunno; I guess I could live anyway in Australia? Anywhere with a job that could be potentially good. I’m really terrified I might accidentally get a job in Ballarat and just stay here with no real plans but on the other hand, it’s not even the worst idea as long as the job could potentially lead to something good. And I hate to be a real fag but it sucks trying to date any men in the country because firstly, there are few of them and of the few that aren’t traumatised by internalised homophobia there is going to be a slim chance for any real connection. I think?
Anyway, cool blog post that probably everyone I know is going to read. I think I’ll just get a job in Melbourne somehow and be happy. Yep.
