My thoughts about marriage rights
Nancy Lebovitz has a button that says "Respect traditional marriage; one robot, one octopus." I've been thinking about that for a while since Shore Leave in June, and I felt that I'd like to express my thoughts and feelings (regarding that snarky sentiment but in a more serious manner) about marriage rights. After noodling around with these thoughts for a while, I came up with the following (which is probably, unfortunately, too long for a button, but maybe Nancy can tweak it down to something more manageable).
"I DO respect traditional marriage. That's why I want the same rights for my LGBT and poly friends - the legal protections, access to sharing in decision-making and visitation in medical situations, and the joy of standing up before friends and family and making vows to acknowledge and celebrate their relationship(s)."
