Live Long and Prosper

California's Supreme Court overturned bans on gay marriage last week, and the fundies aren't happy - but George Takei is.

Sulu's getting married!

Shimmies to Sulu and his partner, Brad Altman! Does anyone have any anti-matter birdseed?

Seriously, it's about time. Maybe Minnesota will be next.

MYOFB!

A pastor in Florida is encouraging couples to have sex once a day for 30 days.

Sweet, no? Well, no. That's (heterosexual) married couples only, if you please. Single people get to (oh goodie, what? What do we get to do? What? Anyone?) abstain for 30 days. No sex. None. Nada. Zip.

Even if they've been together a long time? "Even if they've been together a long time," says Relevant Church head pastor Paul Wirth.

Even if they live together?

"Even if they live together," he proclaims. "We're asking the single people to take a break from sex, maybe take a sex detox [detox? WTF?] for 30 days ... even if they've been together for years. Because maybe the sex for them has been the central theme of their relationship and maybe they're missing a part of it," proclaims he. Hmmmm.

What do you think the response of Amused Muse is going to be to this (and now this has a new meaning) busybody? Anyone? Anyone? How about...

GOING ABOUT OUR SEXY BUSINESS AS USUAL?

Minding our own junk as usual? As Pastor Wirthless should be doing?

Amused Muse at the Pride Parade

Look for me (in case we get on the news) participating with Minnesota Atheists at the Minneapolis GLBT Pride Parade! The t-shirts this year are pink, purple, and black.

I was ecstatic! (And I think I was the only one who was.)

I'm coming out of the closet myself today - new member of Minnesota Atheists, and none of them have seen me in belly dancing regalia. I asked if I could be "creative" as to what I could wear with my t-shirt. We're supposed to project a "nice" image to the broader community, and we are. We are very nice!

And so am I. I'm a very nice person!

I'm just decidedly not suburban nor conservative. Never was. Never will be.

There's nothing "naughty" about belly dance, heels, makeup, and shimmies! Any more than there is about being gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. Righto?

UPDATED: I forgot to mention the theme for this year: "The Evolution of Equality"!
