“Marriage is about bringing the two different elements of society — men and women — together in one unit of form that produces and raises the next generation.”
This is the only reasonable argument a lot of people can operate with while opposing same sex marriage and this really creeps me out. And what about married couples with no children? My husband and I didn’t get married to have kids! Shall we divorce?

I have nothing to add really but I do find it interesting that you mention the weather. I always complain about the weather down here but after visiting NYC for the first time last December when it snowed 3″ in Manhattan (I think it was the first real snowfall of the season), the meaning of cold was redefined for me. I finally saw the sun on my 5th day there, the day before we left. Anyway, makes me grateful for cloudless days in the low 70s like today.

Foist and Sarah, I am with you 100%. I live in Mississippi, and as tempted as I have been to abandon the South, I just can’t. I love the weather and the hospitality and everything. The future is bright and all, but the South’s is just a little further away.

I was born in Alabama and lived there for a few years, actually. So I also have some pride in the state and the South in general. It’s hard to see stories about Southern racism and homophobia because there are also so many wonderful things about that part of the country (i.e. peaches, spanish moss, accents, etc.). I hate that it’s still rather conservative and backwards, but I like your attitude about the future!

I’ve seen bigotry – of all types – that can last me a lifetime but I’ll just say that there are some things this state can be proud of. In the end, it’s what you make of your experience and who you associate yourself with, as it is anywhere else. You take the good with the bad and try to believe that most people are just that, people – people who have a basic, universal concept of right and wrong that, although it may not be immediately apparent to them at the time, is one that they’ll come around to one day. Call me an optimist, plain crazy, or still irrationally dedicated to Alabama’s future as so many of my peers have all but abandoned it.

That said, I am biased as I do call Alabama home. I’m not defending Alabama’s record by any stretch of the imagination more so than I’m arguing the point that it’s worth fighting for.

I try hard to believe that Alabama’s destiny is more than beating Mississippi in everything. So yeah, excuse my rant.

It’s really hard for me to imagine J Alexander having to come out. Like, was there ever a point after his having exited the womb when whatever it is that he is wasn’t clear? Was he not creating ruffled three-tiered headdresses and tinfoil space boots out of curtains when he was two?

*sigh* This daily fix makes me homesick. Sometimes you don’t realize how liberal and accepting your community is until you move to Cali-fucking-prop-8-fornia. Even at a fancy university in the bay area, people can be pretty ig’nant. Case in point(s): One of my closest friends says she’s never met a gay person before me, I’m the only out person in my dorm, my head wants to explode b/c this questioning girl says she wants to be straight because it’s “more practical.” This just proves that we need to be even outer and even prouder so everyone will come out and we can bake a cake filled with rainbows and smiles and the state/country/world will be more like DC which is my hometown so suck it, Maine.

ps. it’s Ally Week so hug your straight friends!

Aren’t you just so proud to be from the south when you hear that shit? I know I am.

hey I hope he Washington bill is passed. In many ways, other countries in America (the continent) look up to the USA and any step towards marriage equality has a good influence on them (and hopefully it’ll echo in conservative countries like mine? -Costa Rica-)Fingers crossed.
