You know, this “constitutional ammendment” thing in the US enshrining taking away the rights of gays as “the American way” is really weird. I understand that there are bigots in America; they're in every country. But what I don't understand is how they can actually do something like this without being fundamentally embarassed. To other Western countries I think these actions seem truly bizarre. It's one thing to not have laws supporting gays, it's a whole different matter to actually have specific anti-gay laws, and it's way out into wackyworld to actually make it a fundamental part of your country's definition.
Canada still doesn't have good universal protection of gays (although it's getting there), and we've had the same asshole politicians making these moronic “marriage is a union between a man and a woman” claims… But, at the same time, cool stuff keeps slipping in through the cracks, so now you can sponsor your gay lover (or polyamorous mistress, and any number of other kinky variations) for immigration into Canada. And of course there's PRIDEVISION which as far as I know is the first gay TV channel?
Along those lines, I hope people take that Divorce entry seriously. The world is a hateful place sometimes, and these things happen all too often. I just got this feedback on it (among others):
What an evil bitch! I really feel for you! I have a child that lives with her father and lets just say he really likes to play head games with me, and really gives me a lot of bull whenever I wish to see my child. At one point I had to turn her father into CPS for abuse and neglect — in which my child had to go to foster care because he would not sign a petition for me to temporarily have her, so we both had court orderd supervised visits. The CPS worker did not feel comfortable in my presense or my home. I am heavily tattooed/peirced/have implants and I like my home a little on the dark side. I'm not a satanist or anything like that. I like all things that bring a sense of shock value. The CPS worker had my child thinking that I was going to hell and would constantley push God and prayers on me knowing that I'm an atheist.
When it comes to divorce, even otherwise decent people seem to pull out all the dirty tricks…
PS. Just had a nice talk with the National Geographic team that was down at SusCon. I really think that's going to be a very positive project, and I'm looking forward to seeing it. They're tying implant work from South America into the story as well…
PPS. This is scary… I've been caught up in those threats before and they're not fun!
