I had to change the look of my page again. For some reason the photographs in the new theme were hindering my abilitiy to write here. I kept thinking “I could blog that…but what picture would I use?” And then I wouldn’t post anything at all.

And in that photo-heavy theme all of the images had to be HUGE to look good. What if I wanted to post a little pizza icon?

So here it is. Back to the old look.

In other news, Mr. D and I are taking a break. We’ve both got some shit to figure out…and some space might make that easier to do. It’s super-sad, and really hard to leave him and the dogs – but I think it’ll be for the better.

We had a nice week of figuring the seperation out. We’ve been together three years…and that means our lives are all tangled up. It’s been really friendly though, and no bridges were burned. So in the future we’ll for sure have some sort of relationship.

This is the one where gays have their eye on 2010.

I don’t want to be Debbie Downer here…but the equality in marriage people have launched a “Repeal Prop 8 in 2010″ campaign that is accompanied by a butt load of posters, and I kind of hate the slogan.

It doesn’t even rhyme.

Why not, “End the hate: Repeal Prop 8.” Or they could have gone with, “It’s not to late to end the hate,” and in smaller print “help us repeal proposition 8 in 2010.”

Or something catchy. Aren’t gays good at catchy?

Joking aside, there are a lot of really good organizations already coming together to start the fight for 2010. If you’re interested in helping in California, you can go to repeal-prop-8.org. (I absolutely DESPISE web addresses with dashes…DESPISE!)

I think that a lot of young homosexuals were slapped in the face last November, and you’re going to see a new generation of young gay activists jump out of their closets and stand up for equality…and that MILK movie didn’t hurt either.

If you take religion out of this, the argument is easily won. You don’t have to give me the right to marry in your church. Quite frankly, I’m not interested in marrying in your church. All we want is our government to recognize our love, and give us the same benefits that are given to our neighbors.

On a seperate note, does anyone else see the irony in the fact that heterosexual marriage in this country is becoming less desirable for people (a la Oprah) as we fight for marriage equality?
