Freedom to Marry Week: Day 6 (I'm Spartacus)

You know how sometimes it feels like you're Don Quixote against the windmills, only instead of a knight you're a brainy, left-leaning woman and instead of windmills it's a vast right-wing conspiracy? Not that it has happened to me, but I find the situation with Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan to be truly horrifying. And I know that the lunatics who targeted Marcotte and McEwan would be capable of similar attacks on my family. It makes me sad, and it scares me. The reaction of some, though, has been kind of inspiring.



*sniff*

Also inspiring was the profile on Evan Wolfson in the NY Times. The world is very lucky he uses his power for good.

I know, I totally love the idea. It's like when the Rocky theme plays and your team is losing but you feel really proud of the effort, anyway.
