16 Ways I Blew My Marriage
Just found this great blog that I'll be adding to my reading list:
Fit and Feminist
A Special Olympian's open letter to Ann Coulter:
Incredible. Perfect. Thank you.
Simmons College's World Challenge program is incredible and so powerful. Watch the video
here. I well up every time I watch it. So proud
of my alma mater!
And, as the political is personal and the personal political...
Kergan Edwards-Stout's letter asks that, if you're planning to vote for Romney,
then please de-friend him
- while I completely agree with his reasons, and much of what he says, I
don't know if I could truly cut out from my life everyone with whom I
disagree. This is an article I'll likely be thinking about long after
election day.
This Salon.com article recounts playwright Doug Wright's recent Facebook post:
"I wish my moderate Republican friends would simply be honest. They all
say they're voting for Romney because of his economic policies (tenuous
and ill-formed as they are), and that they disagree with him on gay
rights. Fine. Then look me in the eye, speak with a level clear voice,
and say, "My taxes and take-home pay mean more than your fundamental
civil rights, the sanctity of your marriage, your right to visit an
ailing spouse in the hospital, your dignity as a citizen of this
country, your healthcare, your right to inherit, the mental welfare and
emotional well-being of your youth, and your very personhood."
It's like
voting for George Wallace during the Civil Rights movements, and
apologizing for his racism. You're still complicit. You're still
perpetuating anti-gay legislation and cultural homophobia. You don't get
to walk away clean, because you say you "disagree" with your candidate
on these issues."
