While I think there needs to be a larger focus on more LGBTQ rights, not just the right to marriage and state-recognized unions, I think this is a really important point.

Wanderlust-ridden skill-seeker. Fun-loving woman with a lot of heart, and hoping to make a mark on the world and got some things to say while I am at it.
Just hoping to stay awesome and keep it all together, in spite of the ever-prevailing sense of impending doom. I mean, have you seen the world lately?
And obviously, a Carlin fan. Also, I love Eddie Izzard, Nathan Fillion, Castle, The Mindy Project, feminism, humanism, human rights for all and a bunch of other stuff.

"...[T]he opposition to same-sex marriage [is] by the persistent denial that gender is a socially constructed role. This is a “traditional” view of marriage in the sense that it is grounded in “biology is destiny,” or specific roles assigned based on sex. It is an extremely narrow view of “marriage” based on specific roles assigned by sex, rather than marriage as an emotional and physical and social partnership between two individuals. Most telling, it is a view that denies that heterosexual people can be in egalitarian marriages, or should be. It is a belief in “traditional” marriage as hierarchical. Not as a true partnership of equals, but as a microcosm of society with a power structure that flows from husband to wife to children. Therefore, opposition to marriage equality is opposition to equality."

Mister Joshie's World: Yeah, I just got real on y'all...
Dear Reader,
It’s no secret that gay rights and marriage equality are dominating our news headlines and mini-feeds more and more often. I myself am very guilty of angry rants, name calling, and finger pointing when it comes to events that directly affect gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and…
These concerns, and the unfortunate acts of discrimination from my youth are not a way to live one’s life. Being fearful of persecution, endangerment, and losing civil rights is no way for anyone to have to live. Regardless of your beliefs or experiences I beg you to truly think about what the issues are that are facing our society today.
Heartbreakingly true.

“You get to the point where you evolve in your life where everything isn’t black and white, good and bad, and you try to do the right thing,” McDonald, 64, told reporters.
“You might not like that. You might be very cynical about that. Well, fuck it, I don’t care what you think. I’m trying to do the right thing.
“I’m tired of Republican-Democrat politics. They can take the job and shove it. I come from a blue-collar background. I’m trying to do the right thing, and that’s where I’m going with this.”
— Love it when a politician does the right thing.

Anonymous asked: Hey, I'm white and my girlfriend's black. Sometimes we come across racist assholes, and I start yelling at them, but she gets mad because she thinks that by cursing and throwing personal insults I'm lowering the discourse. I don't see any point in debating racists because debate requires two sides that adhere to reason, and racists aren't reasonable. Should I opt for a head held high approach or just keep yelling?
Look, let’s be real, it’s impossible to take the discourse any lower than being racist.
