5 Reasons Against Gay Marriage Disputed Logically

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1LY7Rl66V4&list=PL2213F4D480302C4E&index=1&feature=plcp

A look at 5 major arguments against gay marriage, and logically why they are wrong.  Short and sweet.

Yes, it's been a while.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I'm in a play, and we've had rehursals almost every night. But there's been plenty of stuff going on. The licence to bully bill is making our state look like a joke.  Brett Rattner made homophobic remarks and had to step down from producing the Oscars (Eddie Murphy stepping down as host shortly after).

But good things happened too: today is the first veterans day since DADT was repealed. Massachusetts elected the nation's youngest gay mayor. And, of course, the advancing of the repeal of DOMA in the senate.

My new source for gay news (aside from my one-day brother in law, God willing): http://www.advocate.com/

Still working on that history book...

Nothing much new to report, gang.  I wore my shirt again, but got NO response.  I'm thinking I need something more proactive to spark debate.  Ideas? The only thing I can think of is "Baptist ≠ Homophobic".

I've added a Widget!

I've added a new Widget to my blog: a change.org petition to get gay marriage on the 2012 ballot! Please, take time to click and support this worthy endeavor.

small side note

I've been given an old computer by a friend, so I can blog somewhat regularly. :D

Well, this was a great time to start a blog...

My desktop just died. :( On the plus, Bahamute has a laptop, so in the ensuing months I'll be saving up for a new computer, I can still post.

Unfortunately, I can't afford the zoo trip now. Instead, I'm wearing the shirt to 'Marvalous Marvin's Mechanical Museum' later today. For anyone who doesn know, it's a a museum/arcade in SE Michigan. If you live in Michigan and have never been, I recommend it. 

I'll post what, if anything, goes down, tomorrow.

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. :)
