MARRIAGE IS SO GAY

new jersey- i know that we didn't really have a chance today (the 21 votes we could have needed were not going to come our way) but i was still hopeful and eager to be the 6th state to ratify same-sex marriage. not like i need another reason to be proud of the new jersey but it would have been nice to know that i could get married. whenever i wanted. starting soon.


anyway- i took time out of my oh so busy life to find contact information for our senators. you can find the general information on my facebook but i took the extra time to find each senators phone number. PLEASE take one minute out of your day to give them a piece of your mind. every voice helps, even the smallest one. 


we're going to be pursuing happiness for a long ass time. i don't see the harm in taking one step to make a few more people feel like that happiness is a possibility.

via Otep: i am just too lazy right now.



The week before Thanksgiving, a woman named Michelle Deferio stood on a street corner on Syracuse University campus holding a sign proclaiming that homosexuality is a sin. That required a response, thought Chris Pesto, a junior drama major, who mounted a counterprotest of sorts:
Today (Wednesday, November 18th) I left my voice lesson and noticed two adults on campus holding signs that said “Homosexuality is a sin”. First, I would just like to say that I support people with their own opinions. I think that everyone is entitled to their right to think what they want.
However, when someone comes on my campus, where I pay tuition to live, I don’t think it’s appropriate to rub such a hateful sign in someone’s face. I decided that because this woman thought it was okay to make me feel uncomfortable in my home, I would retaliate and make her feel just as uncomfortable, if not more.
This woman was wearing a ankle-length corduroy skirt, which, as we all know, is a fashion nono. So, in order to make her feel uncomfortable, I stood next to her and held a sign that said Corduroy skirts are a sin! I don’t think I have ever drawn so much attention in my life. SO many people asked to take a picture with me, I got laughs, high fives and there were the few that even cursed off the woman standing behind me.
