Marriage in Maine is getting some good ads.

I don't think much else needs to be said about this video.

How Many Will Vote for This?

I ran across another interesting site in the last few days.

There is a group in California that is trying to get another marriage proposition on their ballot for 2010.

These guys are so worried about the institution of marriage that they want to ban divorce! How many staunch supporters of the institution of marriage suddenly be less interested when they have to vote on an aspect of marriage that could actually affect them?

More here!

I heart all of you at rescuemarriage.org!

Another Reason Marriage is Important

First, apologies for my absence recently. It has been super busy and I haven't had much time to post.

However, I ran across an article about Arizona that underscores why marriage is so important. Apparently, at some point in the past, Arizona has included benefits for the domestic partners and spouses of its employees.

Now, they've run up against a budget shortfall. Married employees continue to enjoy spousal benefits, but Arizona has given the shaft to its gay employees by revoking partner benefits...

For those of you reading this who might think that calling it something else is just as good, or that gays lining up to getting our rights one at a time should be good enough, I will point you back to that link. What we take separately, or one at a time, can be taken from us separately, or one at a time, without it affecting the larger population. We remain vulnerable as long as our equality under the law continues to be ignored.
