speak up

I know I've written about this before, but it bears repeating. Gay couplehood is just as legit as hetero couplehood and there should be no legal distintions between the two. If marriage is in need of defense, as some right wing folk would claim, it is because it is one area where church and state are still quite tied together. Seperate them already! The California legislature will soon be voting on AB 205 which would grant many (though not all) of the rights given to straight married folks to registered domestic partners. Read more about this and other important issues at the Equality California website. In related news, I've read that Massachusetts may be the site of a decision that will turn the tide for the rest of the country. Gathering more info. Will report back soon.

In other gay news: Richard Chamberlain is officially out of the closet. It's a small step. He's not an A List movie star, but thanks to Shogun, The Thornbirds and other parts he played, he is relatively well known to millions of people. This is one of the first times I remember a romantic leading man of his fame coming out while still alive. (and happily living with his partner of 26 years in Hawaii.) Cheers!

There it is again. The island I've been dreaming of. G and I will either be back in Massachusetts in the end of June or visiting the Big Island.

Have I mentioned that I'm blogging from my own computer again? Kudos to G who figured out a way to fool the software into thinking my machine had the "new and improved" performance capabilities that the provider now requires.
