LD's No on California Prop 8 fundraising
The time to step up is now.
See that cute kid there on the right? My son. The day, this July, that my partner and I got hitched. It was our fourteenth anniversary. Help.

Ellen DeGeneres: "My Political Point... And I Do Have One," on 24 Sept., 2008 at her site.
Earlier:
Previous election news/analysis links can be found at this here Election news links page.
The wording of Prop 8 is tricky. It’s like if someone asked you, “You don’t want dessert, right?” But you do want dessert so you say, “Yes,” which really means you don’t want dessert. And if you say, “No,” which means you do want dessert -- it sounds like you don’t. Either way, you don’t get what you want. See -- confusing. Just like Prop. 8.For those that missed it, here Ellen is chatting with McCain (2 Sept., 2008) on the topic of gay marriage.
So, in case I haven’t made myself clear, I’m FOR gay marriage. And in order to protect that right -- please VOTE NO on Proposition 8. And now that you’re informed, spread the word. I’m begging you. I can’t return the wedding gifts -- I love my new toaster.

Lesbian Dad 101
Lesbian Dad is written by a parent who answers to the name "Baba" and works toward a world in which amor does indeed vincit omnia. Still curious? You'll find a ton more on the About page. Baffled by the lingo? Peruse the Glossary. For the proper immersion experience, I highly recommend a visit to the Best of LD.

- Lesbian Dad commented on What do you give the couple who has everything? saying Thank you, sister! (Though the nifty thermometer thingy is a widget from No on 8, and I don't think I could tinker w/ the level on it. In a fit of optimism, however, I could raise the limit!). I love your We Are Family! post, by the way. Handy-dandy talking points for those
- anotherothermother commented on What do you give the couple who has everything? saying Hey, LD, I'm a little late to the party but I sent in a donation to EQCA in honor of your marriage -- I couldn't do it on line (long story) so it will be awhile before you get notification, but my check is good (really -- I dropped it on the floor and it
- Lesbian Dad commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying Thank you lizk for sharing that. I would recommend everyone click over and read it. It's refreshing and inspiring. If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times (and since I've said it a thousand times, I suppose I've said it a million times): the battle against anti-gay bigotry has
- lizk commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying I remember feeling at that moment like I’d been punched in the gut. I knew the Obama/Biden position on gay marriage, but to hear Biden say it so unequivocally in agreement with the McCain/Palin ticket was something else. Of course I will still support Obama – it is just too important on too many
- Lesbian Dad commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying Holy hockey sticks, indeed! We were distressed on the lack of follow-up from Gwen Ifill, but after reading up a lot yesterday, I understand that was part of the agreed-upon format of the debate. I.e., no follow-ups from the moderator, but instead opportunity within the candidates for rebuttal, etc.: Dont Blame Gwen Ifill if the Veep
- lulazoid commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying The chart sums it up perfectly. Over here in Europe, we watched incredulously as the moderator let things slip by! I mean, answer the question already. On the gay marriage question, we just looked at one another uncomprehendingly as Biden and Palin agreed. That said, Palin said one of her best friends was gay in
- Lesbian Dad commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying Sister, "GAAAAK!" may be the most sensible response to it all. You have company, over the "toleration" matter, in Abby Callard at Slate: Is Being Tolerant Acceptable?" Sigh. Don't get me started. Thanks for taking offense. The more this is offensive to more people, the quicker we'll be done with all this
- dimplecheek commented on Some timely borrowed content re: the alien landing we saw last night on the TV* saying What got my blood pressure higher than any other part of the debate was when Sarah Palin said something like gays would be "tolerated" by her. I can't remember what she said exactly because my head exploded. I am a hetero and I was offended by this remark. Is that what Thomas Jefferson and the

He looks like an itty-bitty scruffy hipster! I LOVE this picture.
I totally see the lyrical, politically insightful, emotionally expressive, acoustic guitar-playing heart-throb in there behind the organic butternut squash. But then maybe I’m projecting.
No no, I see it too! I see as-yet-unborn teenage girls swooning and melting into those eyes. Maybe boys too, but for whatever reason, in this vision, I’m seeing girls.
Well, dear Liza, dear Liza, I’m afraid you and I are both fairly out in the open on this one: with visions that entail swooning, we tend to see girls. I’m just saying.
I’m glad to see we’re not the only ones who let our son’s curly hair run wild.
He is absolutely, adorably cute.
Thank you, Chris. I sez, let ‘er rip. I’m thinkin, early Robert Plant:
I may encourage him to button up his shirt in public, though. Except on hot days and in discotheques.
lordy that child looks like his mama.
love this blog, i read it religiously.
speaking of religious. he looks like an angel. and angel of the butternut squash
Thank you, DG!
I write it religiously! Even if oftentimes I am Fallen, and can barely get up. (You should see the backlog of unwritten essays circling the airport of my mind! Whadda mess!)
Stand by for cheese-bag PhotoShopped image of a butternut squash with angel’s wings.
(When time permits.)
And yes: thank the goddesses the beloved got a little likeness off on one of her spawn. Eighteen months heaving and ho’ing them around, plus squeezing each one of ‘em out (@ 9lbs each!). She’s gotta get some kinda bennies.
Robert Plant? I was gonna go more with a Woody Guthrie vibe?
Yeah. I guess not so acoustic. But Woody’s hair isn’t frizzy enough. Mebbe Bob Dylan?
Mebbe Cate Blanchett at Bob in the upcoming “I’m not there”?
I bet you could toss together a Bob Dylan halloweenie outfit with guitar, shades, harmonica and brace plus matching black pants and pea coat.
Oops crikey meant Cate “as” Bob…the perils of posting swiftly @ work.
Sorry I didn’t catch that. Perils of moderating swiftly @ work. Really I strive to be a gracious host, and fixing typos ought to be included along with tasty appetizers, appropriate lighting, and the right kind of background music played not too loudly.
