Etiquette Lesson

February 24th, 2010 Beth No comments

So, hey, Miss Beverly Hills 2010. If you use a Bible verse that explicitly condones killing gay men as your “proof” that God doesn’t want gay people to get married, you cannot later claim to have gay friends. You may know gay people. You may even pretend that you like them. But you certainly have no idea how to talk about the issue of equal rights and same sex marriage without sounding like a bigoted jackass.

And I Always Will Be

January 22nd, 2010 Beth No comments

January 22 is Blog for Choice Day. The theme is “Trust Women.” I don’t have much to say except that I will always, always 100% be pro-choice. People, women as well as men, must have bodily autonomy. Women must be able to control their reproductive health. And the government needs to back off already and stop trying to restrict abortion and instead increase funding for sex education, pre-natal care, adoption services, and family leave.

I will always, always 100% be pro-choice. Always.
