Same-sex marriage made easy

Does this make them proud?

There was an election day recap article in the local paper for 11/5. One part of it was very striking.
“It just makes me very, very sad,” said Diane Sammer, 49, of Harpswell.
Her partner of 28 years died last year. For many years they wanted to be married in Maine, and their hopes had risen since [...]

Bad news

It looks like outright contempt for civil liberties will be victorious tonight. I cringe at the interviews where these fucking bigots are so proud of their ability to oppress a minority. It’s utterly disgusting. I have seriously run through my mind the likelihood of being able to move out of state to a place where [...]

Question 1

The results for question 1 will be coming in soon and I hope my home state is smart enough to not discriminate against an entire group of people. However, if bigotry and a disregard for civil liberties do prevail, it will not be the end of the world. This issue will return soon enough. That’s [...]

How they want to define marriage

The far-right, radical conservatives want to define marriage as a privilege between heterosexuals. If marriage is a privilege and not a right, it is then subject to the whims of the majority, not any guiding principle(s). These people are either too stupid, too ignorant, too blind, or too narrow-minded to recognize that such a definition [...]

Helping the ‘Yes on 1′ campaign

Helping the ‘Yes on 1′ campaign with its ads.
The Maine Attorney General and commissioner of Education have determined the “Yes on 1″ ads asserting that legalizing gay marriage will lead to gay marriage being taught in Maine schools to be a load of … um … manure.

See, it is one of the most common tactics to ignore the points of an argument that are inconvenient, so I have found it expedient to only address counter-arguments as long as I also include my most important issues. Namely, I have been presenting Yes [...]

Rights and why they matter

I have found descriptions of this blog and myself on the Internet where I am labelled a defender of gay rights. That is only superficially true. I am no less a defender of gay rights than I am a defender of straight rights. It is the same fight.
That said, here is a piece I’ve written [...]

Making the pleas

I’ve been pleading with people who I suspect or know will vote “Yes” on 1, the Maine ballot measure that would codify one group’s idea of morality over another, thus damaging the very concept of rights (and, incidentally, keeping it illegal for same-sex partners to marry). Here is one message I made specifically for someone, [...]

Liars and the arguments they make

Awhile back there were a couple editorials in the local paper about same-sex marriage in Maine. I have taken to ripping apart the one that is against liberty and freedom and the pursuit of happiness and civil rights and all things good.
Research and statistics repeatedly show the best environment for stable families and children is [...]
