That's a really good point. And also, you are right about Soviet Kitsch being the better album! :)

Thanks. I have been seeing that video all over the place and had yet to watch it. I mean, I agree that non-traditional families should be supported. But please don't make it seem like that is the only way that I can ever be completely romantically happy. If it makes you happy, I totally believe that you should have the right to it. But I don't need to be married to be happy or committed.

Also co-sign on the fourth bullet. Not the same. not unless marriage is going to suddenly enforce hate crime laws, and create a employee non-discrimination act that companies will actually follow.

I agree on all points. especially (;) ) about Soviet Kitsch, which it's nice to see some love for. "Fidelity" is nice but nothing breaks *my* hea-a-a-art like "chemo limo," and nothing puts it back together like "ghost of corporate future."

They should put in a picture of the first married lesbians in Massachusetts who married 4 years ago and are getting divorced now, with the caption, "Please don't divorce us. Just be patient -- we'll do it ourselves like normal people."

Thanks Jessica --

I was talking with a friend the other night. And we were saying how even if we wanted to get married at some point, there is no way this would ever be the foundation of our political work. With the economy in a free fall and tens of millions of people with no health insurance (including 25% of all people with HIV, which is alot of our community), and dozens of states where you can still be fired for being queer and workers of any sort cannot unionize--we look real crazy with a movement over marriage licences. It just doesn't make any sense to me.

As someone who is both libertarian in political affluence and religious, as well as a strong advocate for group marriages or multiple partner relationships, exclusively of course, thank you your simple words speak volumes to my heart and the hearts of many other queers in our Community.
