Amendment 1: We Sow What We Reap

This post is about: Kyriarchy, LGBTQ, Sex and Gender

As I write this, three days have passed since 1,306,409 North Carolinians voted for a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage (some more; it was already illegal here) and eliminating state recognition of any other form of domestic partnership between any couple.

I and 833,119 other voters opposed it. 4,157,238 other registered voters were silent.

And that’s how roughly 1,300,000 people told the other 8,300,000 or so living in North Carolina who they could marry or have the legal benefits of marriage with.

Fight Hate in North Carolina

This post is about: Kyriarchy, LGBTQ, Sex and Gender, Sexuality
This post also mentions:

After using underhanded tactics over the weekend to sneak discussion into today’s session, the House and Senate of my home state put SB 514, now known as Amendment One, on the May ballot. Amendment One is the latest attempt to add a amendment codifying hatred to a state constitution, by redefining marriage as a heterosexuals-only right.

There’s nothing triggering in this post, but for future reference this is what a trigger warning on YSB looks like.

To get the blog up and running, I thought I’d post the content of my “About Me” page here, as a post, where you can comment and say hi. And also so you’ll actually see it. These are some of the things I think I am, or at least what will be relevant to this blog.
