Freedom to Marry Week link roundup
It’s National Freedom to Marry Week. Here are some links from around the interwebs:
From Salon’s Broadsheet:
San Francisco county clerks demonstrate their support for same-sex
marriage by issuing "Certificates of Inequality" that read: "I issue
this Certificate of Inequality to you because your choice of
marriage partner displeases some people whose displeasure is,
apparently, more important than principles of equality." (Right on.)
Bitch Ph.D. shares an apposite reader comment.
A group in Washington is challenging the state legislature’s contention that it’s a "legitimate state interest" to limit marriage to couples who can procreate — by carrying the state’s reasoning to its logical and absurd conclusion and calling for a ban on all non-child-producing marriages. It’s a wacky strategy (as they freely admit), intended to make people see the absurdity of the arguments, but kind of brilliant in its own right. (Via Poesy Galore.)
And, finally: I miss my friends and colleagues there, but I’m glad I no longer live in Virginia. Not that Pennsylvania’s exactly idyllic. What’s the legislation like in your state? The HRC has a couple of handy maps (only in PDF format, alas). Yes, since you ask, I have thought about Canadian citizenship.
