All "Ired Up" and Ready to Go

Nothing but nothing drives me crazier than Mormon a-holes protesting about gay marriage. Check out my new hero, Dan Savage, really sticking it to Tony Perkins of the Church of Latter Day Dickheads



My hackles are up. I'm bummed because the protest on Saturday in Boston is during my work hours. But you betcher bottom, I'd be there in a heartbeat if I could.

If you're in the area.

2 down, 48 to go!

Yay yay yay! It looks like California will be making gay marriage legal! This is the type of fantastic story that actually makes me happy to listen to the news. With Cali joining Mass, that only leaves 48 more states until it's legal everywhere. To be honest, since it has been legal here for so many years now--four I think...Yes, a quick check on the Google thingy says it was four years ago this Saturday since it was legally sanctioned--Anyway, it being in my head that gays and lesbians can marry without any problem for the last 4 years, it's hard to remember that in other places, that is not the case.

I'm sure if I... a.) had a life partner, b.) wished to marry that person and c.) couldn't because I was gay, I would very easily remember that it isn't legal everywhere....

Which state do you suppose will be last to make it legal? Viriginia because it didn't learn its lesson last time? Alabama because it's, well, Alabama? Mississippi because it was the last to repeal Prohibition and it can't be beat by Alabama when it comes to bigotry?

Oh well. Now's not the time to dwell on the homophobia. Instead, let's just cheer for this fairly giant step towards equality for all.

Yay gay marriage! Yay hippie lefty liberals! Yay diversity! Yay!!!

Alright, I'm off to go eat a tofu hot dog and continue not shaving my legs.
