TODAY?!

We might be getting a decision about the Gay Marriage ban in Michigan TODAY. I'm on the edge of my seat. Oakland County, where I live, is one of the counties that will IMMEDIATELY begin issuing marriage licences. YAY!

6/10 Michigan

So, "nearly six out of 10 voters" in Michigan support gay marriage.

Winter

I sit on my office, and I can just glimpse the snow falling on the road. It's the pretty kind of snow, the stuff that won't stick and doesn't get too deep. Perfect for watching through a window. I wonder if Grizz and Langly are at home watching it.

We missed a couples night out with them Saturday  as both were sick with the flu. Langly's voice was so rough I thought I'd called my boyfriend by mistake. The two of them usually take good care of themselves. If they're still sick Wednesday, we'll miss our usual couple's night.

Wednesdays, Bahamute and I always head over to their house. We bring a dessert or cook dinner, watch The Daily Show, and play Mice and Mystics. Grizz and I gab about the Nostalgia Critic and the latest Horror movies while Langly and Bahamute talk games and PC issues. When we get really crazy we break out a bottle of wine or some Woodchuck hard cinder. A good time is had by all.

It's one of the best days off the week. If we weren't in a show opening 2/15 (EEK!) I'd barge over there with hot soup and tea. Bahamute is the star, though, and can't afford to lose his voice. I'm the closest thing to his understudy, and a female Dr. Frederick Fronkensteen isn't going to cut it.

So I sit. And it snows. And I worry. 

It's the 2012 Michigan primary today

Neither of the GOP front runners are who I'd want running the country, and not just for their views on gay rights.  This is a lesser of two evils situation if I ever saw one.

With that said, I urge everyone NOT to vote for Santorum.  His views on Gay rights, as well as FEMALE and MINORITY rights are horrifying, small-minded, and hypocritical.

Local Happenings: Candlelight Gathering

To anyone living in Michigan: I urge you to join us on Tuesday the 20th for a Candlelight Gathering to help support those battling with depression and suicidal thoughts. It's being organized by a good friend of mine, who happens to be gay. 

It will be at the St. Joseph's of Orion parking lot at 5:30. Once the sun has gone down completely (5:45-6ish), we will start the candle lighting. After a few reflective moments of silence we will open the microphone to anyone who would like to speak. Although many of us have been effected by suicide, we ask that this not be a memorial. This is a chance to show the youth of our community that they have a massive support system that cares deeply for them. WE ARE HERE FOR YOU! LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!

This is an issue that's been hitting the youth of the nation hard, especially GLBT youth. Pleas,e share this with anyone who lives in Michigan.  Thank you.
