“Redefining marriage would amount to a massive human experiment.”
– Answering Advocates of Gay Marriage
Know your opposition. This is the first intelligent, pro-gay, anti-gay marriage article I have come across. These are the arguments we need to have smart answers to.

Although intelligent, these arguments still don’t stand up to one based on...

i had a feeling when i posted today about the Israeli attacks on Gaza that i might lose some followers. sure enough, i’ve already lost one. i know who it was. and i know that i was unfollowed because what i was posting seemed ‘unsympathetic’ to Israel.
i don’t care what country you are. what religion you are. who you are: this type of attack is terrorism. it’s terrorism...

According to Esquire, beer rescued us from the Depression (sort of). Can a humble little plant save us from the ending of our financial civilization? We shall see.
A humble plant indeed.

I was reading (shockingly!) something about Joni Mitchell today, and it reminded me of this story:
When I was in high school in my small town, there was a really good and creative chemistry teacher, who also just gave off a certain perverted vibe. You know the type. I learned my periodic table well, and this teacher also took it upon himself to talk to us kids about college, which...

“Socially responsible reasons to punch someone in the face.”
This is by far my new favorite site. :) Thanks Tyler.
This site cheered me up so much which says a lot about my state of mind.
Oh no! Am I a #27??
Ha! No, every few days doesn’t qualify as incessant. Also, content matters.

Good news! In a brief filed with the California Supreme Court, the state top’s lawyer argues for the first time that Proposition 8 should be invalidated and it should not be applied retroactively to the 18,000 marriages already performed, saying that Prop. 8 is “inconsistent with the guarantees of individual liberty safeguarded” by the California Constitution. Brown had not...

happy christmannukahwanzaastivus, gaymericans! (and those who believe that gaymericans are full americans with civil rights n stuff!)
Yeah, this week sucked. But right now burning our wedding video to DVD to show my parents this week. It was a perfect day! No one can take that away.
Histrionic feminist post.

Long-winded post about feminism.
Wait for one slightly critical response, then reblog the response and go batshit.
Take critical Tumblrs’ words out of context and invoke classic feminists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Suggest critical Tumblr is not real feminist.
Gleefully castrate straw men in hopes that other feminist Tumblrs will reblog with rah-rah words of support.
I am SO in love...

Hey, thanks, 500,000 Californians! Thanks to you- a group a third the size of the viewing audience for the average episode of “Reba”- 18,000 same-sex couples may have their marriages annuled. Really, really great job. (And for the record, your kids are exactly as likely to grow up gay today as they were in...

The basic story: a 12-year old Galveston African American girl standing outside her ome is assaulted and hospitalized by five plainclothes cops who think she is a prostitute. The reason why they think she’s a prostitute? She was “wearing tight shorts.”
She is, in fact, not a prostitute, but an honor student. She is hospitalized...
United Nations: First Gay Rights Declaration Wins... →
How appalling and truly shameful that rather than standing with all 27 European Union members, as well as Japan, Australia, Mexico and three dozen other countries, the United States opposed the UN declaration denouncing the criminalization of homosexuality, which in some countries, includes torture and the death penalty.

PETER SLEVIN, WASHINGTON POST: I have a question about pastor Rick Warren. He holds a number of social views at odds with your own views and your strong supporters. I’m wondering what went into your decision to choose him for this prominent role as you embark on your own presidency at a time when you are dotting every I and crossing every t...
