Maine, thanks for making this a federal case. Or just confirming my fears that the only hope of equality once someone declares a sexual orientation other than complete hetero, no bisexuality or interest in the same gender - is at the hands of the National Guard, after the federal goverment decides that's what right.

I remember the sixties. It wasn't all hippies and pot. (That actually was more towards the seventies, folks. Disco was at the tail end of that decade.)

I was hoping we wouldn't go there again. People died that way.

Guess that's the only thing some folks want in this world.

And I might remind folks that my understanding of homosexuality did NOT begin with the horizontal bop - it began with the civil issues, and it began early. I wasn't twelve years old and I certainly never needed to know 'what those people did' to know what was being done to them was WRONG.

I'll be over here grumbling the rest of the day. This is so stupid, there aren't words big enough.

Warming up -

I has a horoscope.

Mental Mercury's conjunction with the Sun in your fixed sign today is an indication that when your mind is made up, no one will be able to talk you out of your decision. You are even willing to demonstrate your commitment and how formidable an opponent you can be if anyone questions your judgment. But your apparent stubbornness is misleading because you are very interested in discovering the truth, and not as close-minded as you seem.

People are laughing.

Yup, I gotta a post to do.

Why it matters -

I am relieved beyond relief that it would appear (so far) the issue with yuki_onna's travel may be resolved - I am staying tuned, however.

I know I've mentioned this - perhaps it was only in passing - but it really does deserve some better documentation.

See, I've been at the mercy of forces out of my control, stuck in a hotel in a place where I didn't speak the language and desperate to get where I had intended to go.

It was in Greece, Athens to be precise - and it was in September, 1990.

( Yes, I was in Athens when they decided the Olympics for Atlanta )

That sort of thing kinda stays with you.

Pavlo introduced himself as 'Pavlo - Paul - like the best one of the Beatles!'

So that's why Xander is Alexander-Paul. That's why.

And now you know why it was so important to me that Cat get her trip. Because when you're SO close - it's almost criminal to accept anything less.

If it's only money - hell, we can fix that.
