I am crying, right now.

The California Courage Campaign reports that Ken Starr (of Clinton-Whitewater-Monica-Lewinsky infamy) & the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund will present their case to the California Supreme Court starting on March 5, 2009 demanding that the Court void 18,000 marriages of same-sex couples that were legally performed between June 16 & November 4, 2008 in that state. The same court that ruled that citizens of the State of California could not be denied the right of marriage by mere virtue of their sexual orientation will hear Starr’s pleas to not only deny those self-same citizens of the right to marry, but to validate the idea that a minority’s rights are subject to plebiscite. Ken Starr & his minions will, in essence, seek to force divorce on all those couples who simply took advantage of their right to make a legal bond with the person they love.

The Courage Campaign's website is featuring an incredible video with a simple message: "Don't Divorce Us". The song in this video is entitled “Fidelity” by Regina Spektor, who gave full permission to use it in the battle to overturn Prop 8 in California.

"Fidelity": Don't Divorce... from Courage Campaign on Vimeo

As Americans who believe in the rule of law and fundamental civil rights, we know that Ken Starr and the Prop 8 Legal Defense Fund's shameful attempt to nullify these unions will not be vindicated in the eyes of history. We know that, ultimately, love will prevail, no matter how hard they try to fight it.

So simple, right??

Edmund Burke said all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

I hope Starr and his bigot employers get their asses handed to them.

I'm not exactly Mr Morality... but I have and always will strongly feel that two people who love each other can do whatever the fuck they want as an expression of that love. Sheesh.

On a side note, how's the Shaymonsta doing? (I got a bottle of that Shea Butter handsoap you had at Darrin's place. I told Astrida it was because her hands get dry from endless hand sanitizer at work, but it was really just to make "Quit putting your hands all over Shay" jokes. I'm so predictable. =( )

Heh, jokes about Shay/shea butter are pretty standard fare in our household. She's doing well, enjoying car ownership, working on a play. Email her sometime....

What's her email address? I only have her digits.
