A Letter to Ted.

My letter to Ted Olson.

Think of the Children!

Joe Jervis over at J.M.G. linked an excellent video into his blog today. Created by Rob Tisinai, it is a response to both the claims of Hak-Shing William Tam at the Prop 8 trial and the hateful ignorance spewed by Heteroseparatist.com.

MissionGathering Church Says Sorry.

MissionGathering Church of San Diego, CA uses their float in San Diego Pride to apologize for the Christians who voted for Prop 8.

I think I let my membership lapse. I’ll have to correct that oversight. I’ll be proud to be a card-carrying member of the ACLU.

Prop. 8 upheld. Who is next in line?

Today, by a nearly unanimous decision, the California Supreme Court has inscribed in the bedrock of Precedent that a simple majority vote may strip a people group of fundamental rights.

Why Prop 8 Should Not Have Passed

Thanks to J.M.G. for posting this. I don’t know who this man is, but he understands everything.

Work To Do

This blog is so boring. I’ve posted rarely, and when I do, it’s hardly ever been an actual post. I can tell you why – it’s because I don’t have time to think. It’s like work is taking so much of my time and brain power, that I don’t have the energy or time left to devote to blogging. In the absence of my own words, I like to quote other people; people who’s thoughts so closely mirror mine that the differences don’t matter. So here’s another block quoted post – it’s a comment, posted to Pam’s House Blend.
