"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist; And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist; And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew; And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up." -Martin Niemoeller Just sayin....this is not just an issue in California or any of the other 38 states that have laws that prohibit the civil union of "non-traditional" couples. This is a human issue.

Just what purpose does it serve to hold a protest in Austin for a freakin' California law. Weird.

I'm straight and married, and I've never been able to shake the notion that the ban on gay marriage devalues my own marriage. How can I truly enjoy something that's legally prohibited from perfectly reasonable, sane, and intelligent adults?
