The Players in our drama

Please note: the names have been changed, although no one is innocent. ;) This is my main circle of friends, and the people who will be on the zoo trip Saturday.

Lead Roles:

Me: A 20 something college grad with high hopes for her unfinished book (What do you do with a B.A. in English?).

Bahamute: My longtime boyfriend and partner in crime. His brother is Grizz.

Grizz: Bahamute's brother, longtime boyfriend/short time homeowner with Langly. One of my best friends, and frequent movie-buddy.

Langly: Grizz's boyfriend, also one of my best friends. We had a class in college together, and are both avid readers.

Featuring:

Soli: Close friend of all the above.  ...Odd. You'll see.

Willow: Soli's wife. Sweet, caring, but vengful if 'Mama Bear' instinct is invoked.

Krillin: Another buddy. Loyal to a fault. Never shuts up.

Serena: The third musketeer for Bahamute and me. One awesome chick.

Guest Starring:

Ariel: Soli and Willow's eldest daughter.  Under 6, and adorable.  Call's us all uncles and aunts.

Tinkerbell: Same as above, but middle daughter.

Tarzan: Their 2 year old son.  I think he said my name once...

The Exciting Debute!

This is going to be a blog of my thoughts on LGBT issues, particually in in Michigan, where I live. I've got some close friends/family that are gay, so their civil rights (and unfortunate lack thereof) are deeply important to me.

Why 'Tee-Shirt Revolution?' Well, I had a tee-shirt custom made that espouses my views, as well as my own minority status (I'm a half-Jew, on my Father's side). There will be a picture of the shirt soon; it's full text reads On the front "I'm a half Jewish, D&D player, who supports Gay rights." On the back "I make grand wizards cry." This blog will also be a record of what, if anything, happens when I'm wearing said shirt.

I will be wearing this shirt for the first time on a trip to the Detroit Zoo this weekend. I'm going with a large group of friends, including a gay couple that is family. In the next post, I'll give more explanations of who everyone is and how they're related (It's a bit complicated).

Until then: Witty closing comment to come. :)
