Having consumed more than half a pack of peppermint and chocolate-flavored candy, I found it hard to sleep yet again. I don't know. Maybe that sugar overload eating spree was my way of celebrating the Lunar New Year.

I didn't know if the straight kid in subject was pro or against the cause, but it was something I felt the need to watch, nonetheless. And... Sure enough, I did not regret it. It was such an awesome and poignant speech detailing how the definition of the American family is truly as subjective as the interpretation of the Bible. It was a bronze-bristled brush rubbed hard against the faces of those who, with antediluvian perspectives, are so violently trying to ban gay marriage for plain selfish and fundamentalist view-fuelled reasons. In other words, it was metal facial for the bigots.
