Colorado … and the march goes on.
On a personal level, here in South Carolina, last September Katherine Bradacs and Tracie Goodwin filed a federal lawsuit challenging the South Carolina Defense of Marriage Law and a 2006 Amendment to the State Constitution that expressly banned same-sex marriages—see my original post HERE. Two attorneys — Carrie Warner and John Nichols—are donating their time and efforts to represent these women because they believe in the equality of all South Carolina citizens under the law and that we should value people who want to live in a committed relationships regardless of gender.
The Further-Round-The-Way-Gays, David and Neal, and Carlos and I, have been invited to attend a meeting next week with these two women and the lawyers to discuss possible ways to support the effort and bring marriage equality to South Carolina.
Yes, I said South Carolina.

The more clowns in the GOP Clown Car the better. I say let the crazies dilute the pool like they did in 2012.
ReplyDeleteI’m with you on the news about Two and a Half Bad Ideas. I find the rumored plot twist to be in poor taste and not the least bit funny. Didn’t this show jump the shark years ago? It’s like they’re padding the catalogue for syndication or something.
Great post!
Yes Bob, another great post! Hey, I'm glad you're getting involved in the marriage equality real action in South Carolina. You will succeed and I'm telling you, the high you get when you do succeed is unbelievable. I hope it happens soon for you and Carlos.
ReplyDeleteChristians need to learn that the world doesn't revolve around them and their wacky belief system. If they don't like/agree with something um DONT DO IT! 'Tis legal to smoke, but do I, hellz no! If someone doesnt want to: marry a same sex partner, have an abortion, drink, smoke, drive a car, or believe in evolution, then dont. But dont muck up the pond for the rest of us, ok?
ReplyDeleteGreat post, as usual!!!
Jeezus Christ, 2-1/2 Men is still on the air? Who the fuck watches that turd of a show?
ReplyDeleteoh, Bette Midler :-)
ReplyDeleteSo are American Christian zealots against discrimination against Muslims and their zealots? Are Muslim extremists allowed to air their very discriminatory beliefs too? After all what is good for the Christians must be allowed for other religions as well?
ReplyDeleteChristians (though it's not all of them, but try telling that to the loud-mouths) insist on their EXCLUSIVE right to discriminate because they're only obeying 'God' (at least their version of it). It bugs me no end that so many STILL can't see the flaws in the argument and where it takes us. It only makes 'sense' in a Christian theocratic state, such as the Vatican City - the only one existing, as far as I know - and, the last time I looked, the USA and its neighbours, in fact all countries of the entire 'Western World', (with that sole exception) do not belong to that category, despite these same pushers for discrimination wishing it were so. Accept it and shut the f*ck up - for (your) God's sake!
ReplyDelete......and one thing more. I'd have more respect for such people (well, maybe just a little) if they actively campaigned for a theocracy instead of pretending that they already have one.
ReplyDeleteOMG .... religion like a penis! LOL!! OK - I read a GREAT book on this same topic by Chris Hedges "American Fascists". Loved it.
ReplyDeleteI have NEVER watched Two and a Half Men, mainly because of douchebag Charlie Sheen. Ashton Kutcher ... what a goofball.
