Getting myself on the news...they asked to interview someone for their opinion so i gave it...

This is the home of stonewall, and one of the founding centers of the US gay rights movement and it is tragic that such cowardice happened here.

I found this on the Perez Hilton Blog (its not on my blogroll, please don't disown me), and i think while the comedy responses are good, this says what needs to be said about marriage equality.

For those of you haven't heard the Bad News™ , George Bush on his way out signed a executive order that allowed for a "right of conscience" a.k.a. "fundies allowed to act like morons while pretending to be doctors" instruction. The effect of this was to allow a Pharmacist, Doctor, Nurse, or Janitor to refuse to do something medically required for the patient (like birth control for example) and the employer not be allowed to fire them provided it was for a religious reason.

Aside from the temptation of inventing a "teaist" religion where my religion required me to drop whatever i was doing to have a cup of tea any time i felt like it...this was one of the worst abuses of an executive order (and yet more evidence for the need of ending this legal nightmare forever).

However thankfully as of Friday, said executive order has been rescinded by the current president (Obama isn't perfect, but does anyone get tired of calling Bush "the former president")

Its now put up on the door of my office :)
