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.

Gah! Do these people have no concept of civil marriage? And were they keeping their heads up their asses while the Massachusetts same-sex marriage debate was going on in the state legislature and we were dealing with this exact issue? Apparently so on both counts. Because yeah, separate-but-equal oughta pass muster today, and writing bigotry into the laws of the nation is just dandy! Assbadgers!
