We Will Be Posting Same-Sex Love Collages Until Voting Day!

And Portraits of All of Our Devils, Demons and Satans!

Yes, perhaps this is the most important election day in the last century. We get it. No one has to beat us over the head about it. The reasonable campaigners see it this way:

The United States is in the middle of two wars. It is also in the midst of economic turmoil not seen since the Great Depression. Almost 25% of the country is without health insurance. We are $1 trillion in debt. We have lost our integrity with the rest of the world. We have had 8 long years of deregulation and soaring rising gas prices. We have given over many personal rights for the sake of national security.

The unreasonable campaigners have a different view:

We are in the midst of a culture war. Our taxes are too high. We must keep our righteous alliances in the Middle East. We must not be only "pro life'" but "pro birth."

Amidst all of this is the most heralded, most scrutinized, expensive state constitutional amendment in history: Proposition 8. Almost $90 million has been spent. All because the unreasonables don't want anyone to "redefine" the definition of marriage.

We could go into (yet again) the "definition" of marriage. Let's just say that the unreasonables fantasize marriage: it never really was the they dream about it.

$90 million. That's a very expensive fantasy.

To many gays and lesbians, marriage was a dream as well. Now it's more than just a faraway dream: it's a reality because people around the world are realizing that a commitment like marriage is a right, not a dream.

Until November 4th, let's all live the dream of equality for all.

Just a thought.
