Do you like knots as much as I do? I bet you do. But I am not only interested in the literal kind of knots involving rope, but also the figurative kind. That’s right, I’m talking marriage. Tying the knot. Entering into wedlock. The old ball and chain. Conjugal bonds. You get the idea.
Today, the United States Supreme Court agreed to hear TWO marriage equality cases — the Proposition 8 case from California and the federal Defense of Marriage Act, also known as DOMA. In my view, both of these anti-gay measures should be struck down by the Supreme Court. I hope everyone reading this blog will agree. It’s time for marriage equality in this country.
To learn more about this issue, I’ll be watching to see what gay activist Dan Savage has to say about this when he appears on the MSNBC show Up With Chris Hayes this weekend.
Meanwhile, let’s all tell our friends, relatives, neighbors and co-workers that we believe everyone should be allowed to tie the knot. You can let your feelings known on this issue by wearing a white knot. Click for WhiteKnot.org for more information on how you can participate in this public awareness initiative:
