final thoughts...

in light of the whole prop 8 thing, and all of the violence and anger it has incited, i thought i'd post this:



not to sound like a kindergarten teacher or whatever, but two wrongs don't make a right; vandalizing mormon churches is not going to get prop 8 overturned and it's certainly not going to change anybody's mind when it comes to supporting giving anybody's rights back. fight back in a positive way: call in gay to work (or just call out sick, for my fellow heteros) on december 10th, and spend your day volunteering at any number of volunteer events around the country (click here to find one near you!). can't miss another day of work? i hear ya! we can help, too--just don't buy anything, spend money, or support the economy on december 10th. one day won't destroy the economy, but it will raise awareness that we are serious about getting these rights for our friends, neighbors, parents, brothers and sisters. according to day without a gay, in california alone, gay marriage would have contributed over $300 million and raised over 2000 jobs in three years. NPH may have had a point!

let's make our voices be heard, guys. stop the hate.

also...

my fiance's friend posted this on the facebook about a month ago; both gentlemen are mormons (please refrain from throwing things--they're a kind, gentle people. i swear.), which maybe makes it more interesting that either would find this clip important. without further ado...



read stephen's note further regarding this issue here (and check out how brillz the fianz iz by peeping the comments!). if you have trouble viewing it (ie, are not facebook friends with him. or, for that matter, with me [wtf are you waiting for?]), leave a comment and i'll post it.

i heart jack black. and NPH.
