The goal for Write to Marry Day is to generate 200 blog posts about why it's essential to create and preserve marriage equality.  I figure writing anything in my little piece of the Intertubes would be preaching to the choir, but there's one thing I believe and I have yet to see it in any of the pro-marriage equality statements I've read.  So here's my contribution:

If you're voting for Prop 8 in California, there's something I want you to think about when you enter that voting booth or fill out your absentee ballot.  I know you want to believe that you can think like a bigot and act like a bigot but not be known as a bigot.  You're wrong. 

By planning to vote to take away my fundamental human rights, you are saying that you think I'm less of a human being than you.  You're wrong about that, too.  I am not lesser than you. 

In fact, I am better than you.

Why?  Because if I could vote on your marriage, I wouldn't use the opportunity to strip you of your rights, try to ruin your life and write hate into the Constitution for the first time ever.  I wouldn't do it even knowing what you think of me or what you would do to me with the same opportunity. 

Because to put human rights up to a popular vote is obscene.

To vote against someone's rights is beneath contempt.

And I'm better than that.

So if you vote yes on Prop 8?

I'm better than you.
