So by now most people reading this journal have heard of the latest thing our beloved Governor Bush has done. For those who haven't, all of the holier-than-thou religious fanatics who can't keep their morals in their (own) pants will be celebrating "Marriage Protection Week". One might think, given that I'm married, that I would be happy for this chance to gloat about how, for once, I'm superior to a whole lot of people.
The person who would think that is bloody wrong. I don't want to have more rights than some of my best friends; some of my friends who were there for me when the straight folks in my life could not have cared less. So yes, I created a new icon in honor of "Defense of Marriage" week. I will be writing some more during the week in question due to a meme I link to later. I may well rant about it before that week, and I almost certainly will afterward. All of my non-het friends (as well as me, since I am not a het) deserve better than this atrocity of a proclamation.

ladysisyphus which alerted me to the whole travesty. Thanks to 9thmoon for the link.
The meme proposed byladysisyphus.
Some more ideas of things people can do byfolk. I found this in a comment from ecwoodburn in a friend's comment section.
There isn't all fury, though. At least this gives the opportunity for some gallows humor.
Take, for instance, this post bygrifyn. Thanks to rani23 for the heads-up; or this Ozy and Millie comic strip about the lovely irony of certain tv stations and their views on marriage. I believe I swiped the link from ysabel.
