Instead of a meme

Oct 31, 2008 10:02

A number of people have been reposting a meme supporting the right of people to get married regardless of whether their sex is the same or different. This meme is specifically for people who are married, which I'm not, so I couldn't post it within the rules anyway. More to the point, I think that repeating someone else's words isn't a good way to express support for an idea.

There's discussion of this on catalana's and browngirl's journals. They and their commenters do bring up some reasons why one would want to express solidarity with one's friends on the issue. I sometimes put up icons with links to support a cause; I just think my LJ should be a place for my words, with the words of others included only insofar as I have something to say about them.

So instead of a meme, I'll post a link to the best article on the subject which I could find in a short period of time. By way of Positive Liberty.
