prop H8
Posted by andromeda on June 2nd, 2009 filed in outrage, politicsso, as you may have heard by now, the California Supreme Court upheld Prop H8. the only upside is that all the couples who married before the ruling still have valid marriages. still not very fair, but it is a (albiet) very small start.
but in spite of all the bullshit, an interesting thing is happening. the younger, pre-voting age teens don’t get what the big deal is about gay marriage. (i have to admit though, i have never gotten why anyone would get their panties in a bunch about who marries who) an online friend posted this article that really sums things up on this front. enjoy.
as for me, i will continue to fight for equality for all people, even if it is just teaching my children that who someone else wants to marry makes no difference to them.

Orbital Sunrise
The Expedition 24 crew on the International Space Station photographed this image of polar mesospheric clouds illuminated by an orbital sunrise. Polar mesospheric, or noctilucent ("night shining"), clouds usually are seen at twilight, following the setting of the sun below the horizon and darkening of Earth's surface. Occasionally the station's orbital track becomes nearly parallel to Earth's day/night terminator for a time, allowing the clouds to be visible to the crew at times other than the usual twilight because of the station's altitude. This photograph shows polar mesospheric clouds illuminated by the rising, rather than setting, sun at center right. Low clouds on the horizon appear yellow and orange, while higher clouds and aerosols are illuminated a brilliant white. Polar mesospheric clouds appear as light blue ribbons extending across the top of the image. The station was located over the Greek island of Kos in the Aegean Sea (near the southwestern coastline of Turkey) when the image was taken at approximately midnight local time. The orbital complex was tracking northeastward, nearly parallel to the terminator, making it possible to observe an apparent "sunrise" located almost due north. A similar unusual alignment of the ISS orbit track, terminator position and seasonal position of Earth's orbit around the sun allowed for this striking imagery of over the Southern Hemisphere.

slow and steady wins the race.
just like we grew up not seeing color, our kids won’t be aware of sexual orientation.
a better world will ensue.
