So, I stopped by my local polling station on the way to work this morning, cast my vote in the one issue I had available (as a registered Independent, I don't get to fuck with either presidential primary)... but first, I had to run a one-person gauntlet.
.... and, boy, she was not prepared for what I had to say.
Morality Activist: "Excuse me, but are you familiar with the Marriage Protection Amendment?*"
Yours Truly: "Yes, and I'm vigorously opposed to it. Keep your laws and morals the fuck away from my private life. I don't tell you how to live, even if I think you're a fucking moron, and I expect the same courtesy. And I do not, under any circumstances, believe morality should be legislated. GOOD DAY, Madam."[1]
Morality Activist: "Buh, buh... uhm...."
Yours Truly: *drives to work, "I VOTED" sticker in hand*
* The MPA is one of those "defining marriage as between one man and one woman" petitions they're trying to get signatures for to include on the general election ballot.
[1] Edited for clarity, and I wasn't awake enough at 7:05 to toss off the "GOOD DAY, Madam" closer.
