Heya all sorry for getting out of the habit of updating but I am here to atone for my sins....
Let me raise a belated toast to gay marriage in Massachusetts. It was really incredible to see all the people lined up in Cambridge city hall waiting to get their licences after so many years of being marginalized, and it was heartening to see all the support out that night. My real favorite part of the whole day was that, because the first gay marriages happened to be on the anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education the politicians had to wallow in their own hypocrisy. George Bush denounced the "activist" judges who overturned the descrimination of the traditional definition of marriage, but because of the circumstances he was forced to praise another set of activist judges who overturned the tradition of descrimination in education on the very same day of his other denouncement. How delicious! In response to all those who claim that gay marriage is being rammed down our collective throats, we get a crystal clear example of another time in history when something being rammed down the throat of people wasn't such a bad thing.
