Gay Marriage to Alfred: Your Thoughts

I'm glad Gargar has trumped Bamster in the reception of their statements, even before hearing her

ohh so she's crazy crazy.

wonder if she knows the guy who stands outside my workplace every so often claiming we put video cameras in his house

Jane Svoboda, address not given, came forward to express her belief that
property destruction by tornadoes is actually the result of terroristic
activity. She believes treasonist behavior is running rampant throughout the
nation.
This matter was taken under advisement.

Tornadoes are Chinese cannons. Check Wall Street Journal May 24th to see Joplin massacre miles wide and miles deep. A tornado only hits as wide as a house.

dope

shakey, do you have a bio or other book on huey/the black panthers you'd especially recommend?

Greenwald on Sullivan's presidential daddy complex (also epidemic among da gayz the last few days):

BREAKING:

Rhode Island's governor on Monday declared that the state will recognize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere, giving gay couples the same rights as heterosexual ones when it comes to health insurance and a slew of other benefits.

The order signed by Gov. Lincoln Chafee in a Statehouse ceremony directs state agencies to recognize marriages performed out of state as legal and treat same-sex married couples the same as heterosexual ones.

shakey, do you have a bio or other book on huey/the black panthers you'd especially recommend?

one of the great things about the Panthers is that the key guys wrote - a LOT. I've never read any 2nd-hand bios, so can't speak to that. I've read pretty much everything Newton and Seale wrote. Even when they're being deliberately self-serving and obfuscatory they are very illuminating. I think all the following are great, just as historical documents.

Huey Newton: To Die For the People - Huey's collected writings, compiled by Toni Morrison

Huey Newton: Revolutionary Suicide - Huey's autiobio, focuses a lot on his court cases iirc, especially his cop-murder trial. (Newton's defense is completely unconvincing imo but there's no way he was going to get away with a justifiable homicide defense against the OPD)

Bobby Seale: Seize the Time, the Story of the Black Panther Party and Huey P. Newton - Seale's writing is more conversational but also covers some ground/chronology that Huey's writing don't, what with his imprisonment. (Seale also goes in-depth into his role in the Chicago 8 trial, in all its ludicrous detail).

and then of course there's Eldridge Cleaver's "Soul on Ice", which is not about the Panthers and is only tangentially connected but still of historical interest. Cleaver was kinda an asshole and threw a bit of a monkeywrench into the works by affiliating with the Panthers, which all parties involved came to regret, I think.

xxpost Oh, this is going to be a fun life.

You've only just begun?

I've found one place where there's room to grow.

Oh wait, that's not what I meant.

thanks shakes

We Were Here finally available on Netflix.

no marriages there

A Dem prez almost as evolved as Dick Cheney; who could ask for anything less?

That joke was pretty fresh a few days ago

wonder what James Buchanan would've said

he'd have been pissed about king county, washington

don't worry poly, I'm sure Bam will be fresh enough to croon the entire Atlantic soul catalog before the campaign is o'er.

holding out for stax/volt tbh

Hoping for "Tighten Up" myself, except he'd be using it to explain why he's caving to GOP budget cutters.

Mr Big Stuff would be a winner imo

Stonewall Was a Wedding?

http://jacobinmag.com/blog/2012/05/stonewall-was-a-wedding/

in a city where 40% of homeless youth are LGBT.

You know, every time I read things like this, I flash back on how happy those gay youth seemed to me in Paris is Burning. They were up at midnight, drinking orange Crush, just hanging out, summertime. Awesome.

And then, of course, I think about how unhappy they must be now, all grown up and domesticated and hitched and bored and boring.

don't be a player hater
being domesticated is rad

Gay marriage proponents feed us two flavors of justification for their crusade. For the romantics they supply fantasy — the notion that legal inclusion brings social justice; for the cynics, they tout the thousand individual rights that a marriage certificate bestows.

And for the lunatics, a third flavor: You were never going to be normal anyway.

hi! who wants to get married?

I do!

So long as it can be loveless, sexless and sheerly totemistic.

surely it's easier to not come up with any of that dumb shit and just let people get on with it

No, it's true. Marriage is going to make rich gay people start to want to buy stuff from Crate & Barrel and Room & Board and god knows what else. Better to keep them from marriage and force them to continue in their ascetic but charitable tradition.
