c'mon over

To my friends and loved ones understandably discouraged by the California Prop 8 results, as well as the equally despicable Prop 102 in Arizona, Arkansas Initiative 1, and Florida Amendment 2, take heart -- times (and minds) are indeed changing, and injustice and bigotry can not stand against truth and basic human rights forever.

But in the meantime, same-sex couples can marry in Massachusetts and Connecticut, same-sex civil unions are the law in New Hampshire and Vermont, and same-sex domestic partnerships have legal rights in Maine. Winters may be chilly, but there's nothing more romantic than sitting in front of a blazing fireplace with someone you love...and knowing it's it's legal. Also, deep blue really is a lovely color, especially on a political map. Just sayin'.

With that and the local artisan cheeses - you do present a tempting offer. ;>)

Beautifully put....

I'm disgusted with those results, but there IS hope, you're right there.
I've yet to see the homosexual/lesbian marriage that's threatened my own marriage in any way. I can see fear making a run for the hills while hope and love and hopefully reason/logic to help move forward in this issue - love is love, it doesn't matter HOW it shows it's face. It's a gift.
Thanks for this.

I'd love to but the hubby-man is becoming more and more anti-cold winters as he ages. Maybe if I could wrap him in thermal insulation for the season....

Thermostat war time is fast approaching in our house.
