Anti-Marriage Protection Week, Hurrah!

I don't have time to write a long post about this myself, but read John's post and read Aja's post and read Msscribe's post and do what they say. I have added Anti-Marriage Protection Week to my interests lists, and I'll be looking through the lists of suggestions for more things to do. Anyone have an icon for me?

I really REALLY loathe our President.

I love marriage. I love being married. I love that marriage is thought of as something that should be protected. It should be. In our country we take it for granted.

But what infuriates me is that our President would use the guise of protecting a sacred institution to discriminate against those who would like to enter it, and can't, because it would mean his cronies might have to start paying health benefits.

Oh, and because he thinks the bible has something to do with government.

Amen. Methinks I should post about it--I already sent an email, and received confirmation that the bastard isn't even going to read it. >.< Keep us posted on any more effective means of protest you find?

I'll post those links later and I'll try to make some icons if I can think of some snappy slogans.

Good enough

If being in favor of protecting the institution of heterosexual marriage through law was good enough for Paul Wellstone, it should be good enough for the rest of us.

Now I recall why you ended up on my friends list. ;-)

My "Jesus didn't teach me to hate gay people" icon will be put on default for this week. I will also do other things, which I am in the process of posting on my LJ.

This is so vile -- Shrub's proclamation, not your outrage -- that there are no words for it. But mark my words: I am about to become a very visible GLBT Ally.
