Kim K Just Blew That 'Sanctity Of Marriage' Talking Point For You Haters

Kim Kardashian's marriage only lasted 72 days and netted her a reported $18 million dollars in profits.

But yet the right wing marriage equality opponents are always screaming that straw man argument about how allowing gay peeps to marry will destroy the 'sanctity of marriage' for straight peepul or the howler I heard in the Maryland marriage equality debate earlier this year, open the door for android marriage.

Bull feces.  As a matter of fact while I'm on the subject of marriage, stop messing with trans people's ability to get married.  

Because you haters are on increasingly shaky legal ground in terms of keeping DOMA and those unconstitutional anti-gay marriage amendments in place as long as possible.

We know you want to continue that foaming at the mouth hatred of the rainbow community going to keep your conservahate 'family' orgs coffers filled with cash from your suckers donors, but leave us transpeeps out of your drama.  

We have enough problems with people mistaking non same gender trans marriages for same gender ones.

We also have cis people deliberately misgendering trans people in a non same gender marriage to attack our ability to get married for their fiscal or political gain at our expense. 

Seems to me by this latest sterling example that you straight folks are doing a bang up job by yourselves of destroying the sanctity of marriage without any assistance from us.

Let us rainbow community people have the opportunity to get in on the fun of getting married and divorced for 72 days or less or show y'all how to do it right and get married until death do us part.
  

And it's gleefully delicious to the TBLG community that Kim Kardashian just became the rainbow community poster girl who is helping our community point that glaring hypocrisy out.

Karma And Election Consequences At Work In New Hampshire?

Remember in 2008 when to great fanfare a same gender marriage bill passed in New Hampshire while a trans rights bill that was up at the same time in the Granite State barely passed in the New Hampshire House thanks to the efforts of then Speaker of the House Terie Norelli (D) and was shot down 24-0 in a female leadership dominated Senate?

Fast forward three years because the karmic wheel may be turning in this case. 

In the November 2010 midterm elections the New Hampshire House flipped from a 216-174 Democratic advantage to a 298-102 Republican controlled chamber. The results were just as devastating in the New Hampshire Senate as it moved from a 14-10 Democratic majority to a 19-5 Republican one..

An effort is underway in the GOP dominated New Hampshire House to repeal the marriage equality law and replace it with civil unions despite polling showing that 62% of people in the state oppose those efforts.   HB 437 originally banned same gender marriages and civil unions but was amended by a 3-1 vote on September 14 to allow civil unions for gay and heterosexual couples.

The Judiciary Committee meets tomorrow to consider a subcommittee recommendation that they repeal the same gender marriage law that took effect last year. 

The amended HB 437 should it get out of committee tomorrow won't be voted on by the full New Hampshire House until the new legislative session convenes starting on January 4, 2012.

People who were married in New Hampshire won't have their marriages revoked, but should HB 437 take effect marriage would only be allowed for a man and a woman. 

New Hampshire Governor John Lynch is a Democrat, so if it does pass the House and Senate, it'll be up to him to veto or sign it.   If he does veto it, the GOP might have enough votes to override it and make it law.   

Elections have consequences people, and the sooner that people learn that lesson on the liberal-progressive side, the better.  Not voting is NEVER an option if you wish to not only have progresive change in society, but keep it.

Wendy's Wedding

Discovered some more photos on the Net of Cuban transwoman Wendy Iriepa's wedding back on August 13, and since I haven't done a photo post in a while, thought that would be a perfect subject for one.

This one is dedicated to the two transwomen fighting in Joanne Cassar and Nikki Araguz for our human rights when it comes to getting married (or divorced), and the fight that Ms.W waged in Hong Kong to do so.

We are part of the diverse mosaic of human life, and its past time our human rights in all faces of society be respected and protected.   We want to live, love and have the abilty to marry the person we love just like cis people, and we can't forget or stop fighting for it.
