Got a few looks on the way to work. Got a LOT MORE on the way home.
Why? Add to one economy car's rear window a bumper sticker that reads YOU WILL TAKE MY RIGHT TO MARRY OVER MY DEAD BODY, then mix in a RIGHTEOUS state supreme court decision: INSTANT craned necks, people passing to see the face of the driver, more tailgating than at a Redskins game.... :eyes:

I don't much care. I'm past being nice about this. If I have to come off as nasty to get my point across, I will. That's why I made it "YOU will take," not "THEY will take" -- because without voters backing the assholes trying to write my inequality into the Constitution, it wouldn't be happening.

10. LOL
Lots of snow is melting around certain peoples' homes right now.

I wonder if beer sales are up in freeper neighborhoods as they congregate to bars to drown their sorrows.

11. Rabrrrrrr & GOP, neither of you is right. -------> EDITED:
Edited on Wed Feb-04-04 09:19 PM by Bertha Venation
:hug: thanks for making me feel so good. I ain't special. I'm just a dyke who is not taking any more of the radical right's bullshit.

I am just amazed that I put that sticker on this morning, and the SJC came down w/ its decision today. Wow.

Can't wait to make my first visit to P-Town.

Edit: By the way, "neither of you is right" doesn't mean I think you're wrong about something you've written. I married a hillbilly woman, and whenever I do something goofy (which, apparently, is constantly), she says to me, "You ain't right!"

16. No, I don't.
I live in Maryland. Where I live doesn't matter, though. This is a fantastic victory for us, right up there with SCOTUS' last summer's decision in Lawrence v Texas (which was actually a great victory for anyone who has sex, regardless of the gender of the participants).

19. ah, yes, but you see...
P-Town is legendary in "the" community. A very friendly town. Mrs. V. are discussing a Massachusetts marriage license, and that's where I'd like to do it.

24. I thought you were going to move to Delaware
:cry:

We're passing an anti-discrimination law in DE that will give domestic partners benefits.

It's a start!!

25. Despite my flu and sore throat, I gave a huge WAHOO
to an empty house, but still ...

And I'm a happily (unthreatened) married, straight, Christian femme!

Since I don't need to strain myself this time--gotta say it again.

WA-effing-HOO!

4. Cool sticker
You know, as a heterosexual, I would give you a thumbs up if I saw you with that sticker. We're not all bad.

14. "We're not all bad."
Oh, heavens, Fenris, I know that! I'm a little sad that I had to come to DU before I found a message board where that was true, though. But I've always known it of people IRL.

:D

22. The dam is crumbling...
The sea is coming in...and all because of a little *girl* with her finger in the dyke. :evilgrin:

Massachusetts is probably closer for you to come from Maryland than Ontario (more's the pity, since I have a good transgendered friend in B'more), but you can ride high on the feeling that it's just *starting* to happen, and you will get to see it all. :)

This is good news for everyone. As our great wise man Pierre Eliot Trudeau said, "The State has no place in the Bedrooms of the Nation!"

Take care, good luck, and best wishes, Bertha and Mrs.V.!!

27. Today: more looks, two horns, one near-ramming, one finger.
Their problem. Not mine.

Amazing the love that that particular brand of Christians show when they're busy hating homosexual people.

from my cold dead hand!

Throw that NRA stuff right back into their faces.
