Such a sign of the apocalypse. I’m agreeing with Bill O’Reilly.

Equality Starts Tuesday — We Hope

Rally_HomepagePromo_Stand

HRC is encouraging everyone to wear red on Tuesday and Wednesday to show their support for marriage equality while the issue is being heard by the Supreme Court.

I’m on the road beginning Tuesday, so limited blogging for about a week and a half, unless I find something truly amazing to yack about. (Those desperate to hear from me, follow me on Twitter [look to the left] as I’m so much better at tweeting when I’m away than I am otherwise.)

Until then, please take a moment and send those anti-discrimination vibes to the Supreme Court on Tuesday and Wednesday when the justices will hear arguments in the Proposition 8 case (Tuesday) and the Defense of Marriage Act case (Wednesday).

We’re on the precipice of real and permanent change in this country. In spite of the fact that, to mangle a quote from Dan Savage, the land of the free and the home of the brave is usually the place where freedom and bravery come last, often we do get there.

Let’s make it happen.

MP’s Heartfelt Speech on Marriage Equality in the UK

Here’s a clip of Mike Freer, a Tory MP, in the House of Commons with a common sense, no nonsense defense of marriage equality. Americans should listen to Mr. Freer and contemplate his message. To me what it really all boils down to is “some in the church don’t like it, so we shouldn’t do it.” And I say to that, “Bloody bollocks!”

Sullivan dishes on the House of Commons vote today on marriage equality and a few additional issues we could learn a thing or two about from his home country. I posted this on my Facebook page today and said, “It it passes the Lords, how does one immigrate?” Several friends chuckled, one suggested it would be closer to move to Iowa, but, well, no.

If I could swing it — need to work unless I win the lottery — I’d jump ship in a New York minute. Liverpool minute. Northumbrian minute. Whatever.

God Save the Queen.
