One woman's story

No, this isn't about New Orleans.
That whole situation is totally fucked up, and many others have said it, and why, much better than I can.
contentlove has a lot of it, much of which has been reposted elsewhere throughout the blogosphere.

And, of course, there's the famous interdictor.

But, I just recently came across an old story of a friend of mine:
http://www.ginadaggett.com/one_couple.htm

This is from several years ago. My friend Lisa was fighting with immigration to allow her girlfriend, now her wife, to be allowed to stay in the United States.

The religious wackjobs who run our government right now decided this was not to be.

They got married in Portland a few years back, when it became legal there for, what, about a week?

They were apparently a threat to all things Good Godly and American, though.

Oh, yeah, and about New Orleans:
Here's one person's story:

And, on a lighter note...

One last entry before I go to bed so I can get up early to I can go hunt down a project manager and bitch-slap him explain why he needs to cooperate with my efforts to get him the server he needs for his project to succeed, the following subject line was in my email today:

they are not men. their troublesome meats is pleasing to your eye

I think I had enough of troublesome meat in Campeche, thank you.
