i promise that, eventually, i will move on to posting about other subjects. for now, though, please watch the following video--it's an excellent discussion between jon stewart and mike huckabee about the subject of gay marriage. both men make good points and frankly, if you're going to argue your point on the subject, you should get to know the opposition and understand where they're coming from. this has been a mission of mine for quite some time and, while i will continue to argue that things like semantics and "what God says" are not solid points against homosexuals getting the same rights as we heteros when it comes to legally binding unions with the people we love and the rights promised therein (what whaaaat not dropping the "M" word!), i feel like i maybe understand the opposition a little bit better. which you have to do to win--am i right?
in closing, i'd like to give a shout out to my future husband, jon stewart, for being a great ally and making me wish, once again, that i was smarter than i am. oh, well.
also a head-bob to Marriage Equality RI for bringing this particular clip to my attention. keep fightin' the good fight, boys and girls.
