Is it November 6th yet???

If there's one thing I'll never tolerate, it's being told how to vote.

I won't tolerate that shit from anyone, whether we agree politically or not. I won't tolerate it from family - from friends - from Amy - from Amy's family - from Amy's friends - from coworkers - from neighbors - from former classmates.

And not from priests.

And certainly not from bishops.

And please don't threaten me with promises of spending an eternity in hell for potentially voting for someone you don't think deserves my Catholic vote. Because my salvation (or potential damnation, according to some) is none of your damn business. Period.

I know some of you think you're doing me a favor......and I know you're honestly doing what you think is right.

But try this one on for size:

I also think what I'm doing is right. And blessed by God. And good. And holy. Yes - even holy.


A lot of folks have asked how this Marriage Amendment outcome will affect my life. And the answer is pretty simple. It won't.

I'm still going to spend the rest of my life with Amy. I'm still going to be joined to her in marriage next September, and it doesn't make a $&%@# difference whether this amendment passes or not. She is my gift from God, and you better damn well believe I'm going to celebrate that gift.

And you'll either stand by me with your love and support, or you won't....

But regardless of your response, it's going to happen.
