rmI know someone has to be working on the compromise angle. I know that something is better than nothing, but wow, do I resent the New York Times telling me what should be "good enough" for me as a queer person.
I hate the gay marriage debate so much I don't even know where to start. It's just non-stop awful, overshaodws other critical issues for queer people and yet has symbolic primacy in terms of how we are perceived by the broader world. It's a fucking mess.

Meanwhile, I have cold and feel utterly like crap.

Date: 2009-02-22 08:53 pm (UTC)No kidding, the idea of putting in laws to "protect" that right is utterly ludicrious and completely unnecessary given the US Constitution.
As for the rest, I was deeply unimpressed, in addition to not having any patience with the idea of compromising with bigots, when I read crap like that I always wonder if there were people writing similar nonsense back in the late 1950s & early 1960s about compromising on eliminating the miscegenation laws.
