Qualms about the marriage equality movement aside, I appreciated this perspective from Rinku Sen at Racewire.
Rather than fixating on communities of color as though we’re the last of the homophobic holdouts, we should be thinking of ways to bring people together, socially and culturally, across sexual lines.
Very true.
And yeah, qualms aside again, the images of these couples getting married were thoroughly heartwarming, especially the couple in Fresno!
As-salaam alaykum sis,
I greet everyone that way.
This is a great post. I suppose that I am neither lesbian nor anti-lesbian… I have a close relative who “came out” and though I cried at first I realized that her choice is better than any of the males she’s been with and her “wife” is a far more stable partner. I hope that lesbian marriage laws are passed for the future of women’s mental health.
Peace and freedom from violence
