Several people I know have linked to or commented about this video, so I thought that I'd jump on the bandwagon and share it here:
Keith Olbermann may be crazy, but he's my kind of crazy.
Anyway, I'm clearly upset about the passage of Proposition 8, as well as the existence of many other state laws and constitutional amendments banning gay marriage. Not to mention the idiotic restrictions on adoption, when we have countless children needlessly floating around the foster care system. As far as I'm concerned, the people that argue that a child needs a mother and a father are saying that single parents should have their children taken away from them.
I know that every generation has been progressively more tolerant, but I think that it's ridiculous that we should have to wait to enjoy such a basic human right. Especially when it doesn't affect straight people IN ANY SINGLE WAY. Grr. This Saturday, I'm going to be joining the nationwide coordinated protest, and while I realize that this won't directly accomplish anything at all, hopefully it'll send a message about the widespread outrage that so many people feel about this issue.

#1: How did your GREs go?
#2: How was the protest? I've seen wonderful pictures from friends in different cities.
#3: I really wish intolerant idiots would stop demeaning my marriage by telling me that the strength of my bond with my husband is somehow diminished by other people also having the right to marry.
Originally, this comment descended into a rant against how ridiculous the "defense of marriage" argument is. But I deleted it, because you've heard it from me before.
