If there is something inherently sexual about a man in a dress, such that children should not see it.

… they probably shouldn’t be seeing women walking around in dresses, either.

@wishopenastar sent me this fantastic Twitter thread about detailing the process of Special Marriage Act and my god... I am so so sad right now

For people who don't know, there's a case going on in Supreme Court to allow same sex marriages under the Special Marriage Act. It's a huge victory for queer rights if it passes. But the realities of this act are not exactly 'user friendly' if i may say so.

I'm attaching screenshots of the thread but there's no description because it's very long. You can click on the source above to get the og thread

Tldr: the special marriage act under which we want the same sex marriage to be legalised has questionable procedure that involves publically displaying sensitive information. It's very prone to be delayed if anyone objects to it and the local judicial authorities can just simply refuse to register and you can't do much unless you want to get in lengthy court battle.

The special marriage act as of now is most used for intercaste Hindu marriages or interfaith marriages, or marriages of people who want to get married without any family presence or rituals. It's a terrible news of queer rights but also my heart goes out for all the couples in past who have not found the reprieve they sought under this Act.

people who claim they're being "bullied" for their privilege have clearly never been bullied/oppressed for lack of privilege. don't even try to compare those situations. bullshit. as someone who's both privileged in many ways and oppressed in others, i can tell you for a fact they are totally different things.

Oh my gosh, how so much awesome.

- Obama re-elected. - Same-sex marriage legalized in Maine, Washington and Maryland. - Same-sex marriage results favorable (but still way too close) in Minnesota. - Todd Akin (“legitimate rape”) ousted. - Richard Mourdock (pregnancy from rape is “something that God intended”) ousted. - First openly gay senator Tammy Baldwin elected. - Massachusetts legalizes medical marijuana. - Washington legalizes marijuana. - Colorado legalizes marijuana for people over twenty-one. MY BRAIN IS EXPLODING FROM ALL THE AWESOME.
