[ WP ] [ HP ] -ish : Write a brief report on the gay rights movement from the year 2023 .

When I stood and watched at Stonewall, I never knew that it was the start of something. I never knew that one day homosexuals would even be able to triumph over the will of the silent Christian majority and defy the commands of God. 
 
 But they did it, and I just stood and watched because I did n't think they could. At first it was just a bunch of hippie liberal states that fell- and I could n't even believe that would last, because the president who banned gay marriage *was* a Democrat, after all. Even California, Satan's little playground, put up a fight until 2013, and we still had 37 states on God's good side by the end of that year. 
 
 Some people protested, but as the gays and their straight `` allies'' rallied for more `` rights,'' I just stood and watched- as they got marriage, taxes, equal employment, fancy school rules, and took away the sacred rights of the heterosexual. I should n't have; I should've fought back when I was called a `` homophobe'' and `` bigot'' for defending God's Word, and I should've joined Uncle Sherman when he went to support Chick-fil-A for standing up with God. But slowly it all fell, and it seemed that over those six decades, Americans became more and more uncomfortable saying we were a nation `` under God.'' 
 
 It's over, and all I can do is watch Fox in my nursing home and complain, hoping that God does n't choose to punish me with the rest of this ungodly country. Damn it. I should n't have just stood and watched.
