I'm late to the party, but YAY! (RL)

My president. <3 Obama supports gay marriage. Yay! New icon time!

Soon enough people will look back on this whole mess in the same way we now do the whole anti-interracial marriage battle.

So often I want to post rants. I don't understand how anyone can be against equality for everyone. I don't understand how it matters to anyone what strangers do in the bedroom. I don't understand how people who not too long ago didn't have the right to marry anyone they wanted could now work to deny others of those same rights... but I won't spam you all. You know how I feel, I'm sure. :)

As usual in my replies to you: Yes, to all that.

It's their reactions that are doing way more harm than the act itself. (Oh nos! Two people want to be in a committed monogamous relationship! Somebody stop them!)

And of course agreed on the whole adult/consent thing in the bedroom.

from Puerto Rico (which apparently is VERY anti-gay),

I don't have much first hand experience, but what I do agrees with that. It's all MACHO, I'M A MANLY MAN MAN type thing, from what I've seen. /stereotyping

If I didn't have to pick up my wife from the airport, this would be much longer. Seconded on the consenting adults in privacy (or semi-privacy, if you lean that way). Let people be happy and satisfied and slightly sticky if no one is being harmed. And the big thought for this post -- the rightwing crazies love to quote one line from Thomas Jefferson concerning the "Tree of Liberty." Look up the letter that quote is pulled from, as there's a much better one. To sum up - Some group of citizens will always be misinformed, and pissed off about the misinformation. Sometimes they rebel. It happens. If it only happens every century+change, we're doing better than every other society in history. And in the end, the purpose the rebellion serves is really only to remind those in power that the people can rebel.
