Pro Gay Marriage Ad Comes Under Fire

Recently, The Los Angeles Times ran an article on a new TV ad by the organization, Let California Ring.

Chino Blanco

Chino Blanco runs a great blog on the California fight for gay marriage. He is in Southern California, so a lot of his activism is in that area. He left this as a comment on my post  Retroactive Marriage, and thought it was important enough to pass on.

Why Same Sex Marriage Should Be Illegal

I’d like to share this with you from Defenceless Queerling - Your Daily Dose of Lesbian:

The Trouble with Affairs

Most people who cheat and carry on extra marital affairs claim that it’s because lack of attention. Somehow they feel empty, or unloved, unappreciated or misunderstood. There’s not enough sex, there’s too much sex. Whatever. There are as many reasons to have an affair as people can think up to lie about having the affair. […]

Retroactive Marriage

California Attorney General Jerry Brown stated that any same sex marriages already performed would be recognized, even if Proposition 8 passes to amend the California constitution on November 4th as “marriage being between a man and woman”. That’s great news, right?
The measure would amend the state Constitution to declare that “only marriage between a man […]

First Fifty Cents

Can O’ Worms

Apparently my comment in my post Rant to Stanley and it’s follow up Couldn’t Help It has created an interesting sideline controversy. Stella sent a link, stating that the jury is still out on whether or not children raised by same sex couples are well adjusted and happy. The blog is called Needing Fathers, and […]

Tattoos and Memories

Yesterday was the conclusion of many, many hours of tattoo work and as I placed myself in a peaceful state for 3 hours, I could not help thinking and wondering what he would be saying right now. I know him and he would be excited and supportive and would pace during the work and say […]
