I found this in [livejournal.com profile] daily_snitch and [livejournal.com profile] quickquote (friend both [livejournal.com profile] daily_snitch and [livejournal.com profile] quickquote and you will never be bored again). Note, when I talked to one of the editors of QQ, [livejournal.com profile] electricandroid, she suggested that my fandom interests - discussions of uses of Dudley's weight in fanfiction - probably run more in the direction of the Daily Snitch. Now that's class.

Do not miss this!

Aja (and others) are offering fic in exchange for you putting your slash where your mouth is -- gosh, that sounds filthy.

Call your senators. Tell them to stop this Gay Marriage Amendment madness.

Frankly, to my mind, this is a less a gay rights issue than an abuse of the Constitution. Constitutional law was never intended to be hastily made, without much thought of the long term implications and consequences.

If there is anything concerning marriage added to that document, then we are accepting a degree of legal control of our personal lives that is unprecedented. It could be used as a basis for all sorts of control of marriage.

If Marriage is defined by the union of a man and woman, is it also defined by being sanctified by the Christian church? Will our country not recognise court weddings, or say, Muslim marriages that might include more than one man and one woman? Will Buddhist weddings not be recognised?

This is the kind of territory we're getting into.

Say no. The Constitution is to guarantee freedom. Not restrict it.
