GAY LIFE

The wonderful ACLU has a new website dedicated to moving forward in light of the amazingly great Supreme Court ruling for Gay rights last week. To quote from their site, "Equality is up to us." So true. So

Get Busy. Get Equal.

One of the primary justifications for treating gay people as second class citizens has been the claim that our relationships are wrong, and that we are therefore supposedly not entitled to equal respect. One of the primary ways people have tried to clinch the argument that our relationships are wrong is by pointing to so-called "sodomy" laws (some of which are aimed at same-sex relationships, and some of which technically are not). After the Supreme Court decision in the Texas case, that argument is just a dead letter. Our relationships aren’t a crime. And the constitution gives us the same right to be intimate, to form relationships, to live our lives, that it gives to heterosexuals.
Let's get bizaaay!
