I 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.

This is the straw man used over and over and over about prop 8. THEY'LL MAKE US MARRY THOSE @#$@#$ OH NOES.

When in point of fact, churches have NEVER been required to marry (or allow to use their space) anybody who doesn't meet their religious tenets. Temples don't have to marry Catholics. And so on.
