Regarding gay marriage.

Yeah. Stupid and bigoted as it is for people to deny gay couples the right to marry, my own personal views on marriage have changed.

The word "marriage" has far too much religious connotation for me to ever want anything to do with it, really. You know what? You can keep your stupid marriage. You want your little secret club for straight Christians, go right ahead. And to you I say, fuck you. I want no part of it.

Give EVERYONE, gay or straight or whatever-sexuality-they-are, a civil union under the law. Give everyone the same legal rights, under the same name. Then, if you want a marriage, you can go right on over to your church or mosque or synagogue or whatever and get one. That has nothing to do with the legal benefits.

That's what I think. Will it happen? Probably not. I'd be happy enough with everyone getting equal rights under whatever name they want, so long as it's called the same thing with everyone.
Whatever.

On Ken Starr

WHAT THE HELL.

So apparently, in December, this lawyer named Ken Starr (apparently infamous for something involving the Clinton administration that I don't particularly care about) filed a "legal brief" to try and force those 18,000 loving couples who got married in the brief time when gay marriage was legal to divorce.

What. The. Fuck.

Really? REALLY? Not only are you bigots not happy with denying loving gay couples the right to marry, but now you're trying to split up those lucky few who made it in that brief interlude? When will the hatred end?

GAH. This is about where my anger goes beyond words. Just... gah.
