Perfection :)
On November 6, four states will be voting for or against allowing marriage equality in their state.
If you are 18 or older, live in either Maryland, Maine, Minnesota, or Washington State, and support marriage equality, please do your part by registering to vote and voting in favor of equal rights.
If you are underage and/or you do not live in these states, please reblog this so that people can be informed.
I live in Minnesota. My partner and I have been together for 11 years this coming October 8th. Please vote to support marriage equality. Please vote no.

This is an Ex-Parrot!: You guys. I don't think some of you understand. Maybe you should read this. »
Obama stepped out and supported gay marriage. Now we have to step out and support him. For every independent and conservative vote he just lost,…
This. Just… yeah, this. I agree with all the comments here. Yeah, sure, he came out and said it during an election year, but if he were really out to get votes, this actually was the worst thing he could’ve said, considering the backlash (check out the first comment here, where FOX actually took down the comments because of all the hate that filled them.). So I’d like to think that’s it’s for more than just votes. And you know what, if it is, then he’s got mine. I don’t get into politics too much, but a lot of people have already said something very important: think of the alternative choices right now? No one else out there has the GLBT community’s back on this. And don’t think this just effects them, it effects all of us. If you take a closer look at that law in North Carolina, for example, it not only effects gay people, but straight people too. A good, straight friend of mine pointed it out to me and is outraged, because that law only recognizes married couples. Period. She’s been with her boyfriend for ten years and, in that state, they wouldn’t be recognized. And they’re straight! Newsflash, some people just don’t WANT to get married, and some people do. Why deny people who DO?
This is about a basic, human right. And here’s someone coming out to support that. We need to go out there and make our voices heard. If you really feel that this is just for votes, then you know what? Give him your votes. Go out there and let your voice be heard so he can make good on his word. But, as I said, out of all the things to show support of, this is a big risk. This is such a hot button issue and there’s a lot of people out there being negative (I’ve seen some of those original comments on FOX who, by the way, called it a “War on Marriage” before changing THAT title. They were hateful and disgusting, and threatening his life, and just… it’s sad and sick), it’s time for us to rally together, yes?
Randomly, I can’t wait to go to PRIDE this year, I feel like it’s going to be HUGE from this turn of events.
This was actually a fear of mine, not so much anymore since our families seem o.k. with it now, but it was and still kinda is. I mean, what happens if something does happen to one of us? I don’t think either of our families would deny one of us things, but to the government we’d be two women living together, nothing more. We have the house, travel together, have a joint bank account, make things together and have our own little side business, it’s really awful that we have all of those things but still can’t do something like get married. Hell, when doing taxes only one of us can file for the house. It’s OUR house, but only one person can file, that’s just the most backwards thing ever! That will always blow my mind. I don’t believe in too many things, but this is something I believe in, and not just because I’m with her, but because it’s such a dumb thing to deny someone of. If you’re going to let same sex couples do all of the things married people do, why not just take that last step? My partner and I have all the things a married couple have, just not the title. Come. On! That’s just stupid!
And for those who are curious, my partner and I have been together for 10 years, 11 this October. You mean to tell me that two women can have a relationship for THAT long and CAN’T get married? If I were with a man, people would be telling him to put a ring on my finger (actually she gave me a ring years ago, but you get my point).
Afternoon blabberings
My earlier comments about North Carolina are backed by the president: http://gma.yahoo.com/obama-announces-his-support-for-same-sex-marriage.html
He supports gay marriage. Well how bout’ them apples, North Carolina?
Morning blabberings
Heard about the North Carolina stuff *sighs* I’m just tired, so tired, of ignorance. Not that I live in the state or anything, but it still hurts to know that people out there are so against gay marriage and put such a simple label on love like, “Only men + women enter here.” Love is not that simple, and it never will be and was never meant to be that easy. It’s complex and beautiful and is meant for everyone: gay, straight, black, white, man, woman, whatever. Anyhow, that’s my morning blabberings on the topic, gonna spend the day gayly crafting and gayly writing with my gay wifey.
Kind of nervous about posting this, not sure why…
It’s no secret that Kanji and Naoto are my OTP. In fact, they might be my favorite OTP of all time. I could go on and on about why I love them so much, but I’ll spare everyone. As always, this is hand drawn/painted by me ^^
The words on the mirror say, “Love is Tender and Knows no Gender,” because I think these two fit that message perfectly. This is because there seems to be this debate on whether or not Kanji is gay, Naoto is transgender, ect. ect. To me, it doesn’t matter either way, because these two are such great characters with some powerful things to deal with, and they are great together (particularly in the anime where it goes beyond Kanji’s crush, they also fight together and work well with one another). I don’t want to spend time debating whether or not someone is gay, straight, transgender, whatever. What I want is to celebrate the fact that these two would be a great couple. It works no matter how you look at it. If he’s gay? She’s most comfortable posing as a boy. If he’s straight? She’s adorable as a girl. If he’s straight and just understands that she’s more comfortable as a boy? Awesome. If she feels comfortable as a woman by the end of the game? Sure. If she still wants to be the boy detective? Sure, that works too. If she actually wants a procedure to be turned into a male? Sure, why not. Anything and everything works, what matters is that these two can love one another no matter what :)
Oops… guess I went on and on about it after all ^^;;; Regardless, enjoy the mirror, it actually didn’t sell at the convention I had it at so it’s available for purchase ^^
